Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly 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. 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 VA receipt.
