Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• 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. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
