Water and AdBlue Contamination

Fuel system mixed with water can make the engine of your car behave badly. It will make it exhibit the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in the car, such as low power, irregular running, production of excess smoke and even stalling. In cases of incorrect fuel, the fuel filter won't be damaged. But with water contamination, it should be replaced.

Another thing which can cause same signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your vehicle behave abnormally.

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.

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.
