The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.
