Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
