Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

They had conked out after inserting diesel into their son's Honda Ridgeline, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so confused. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing goes on on daily basis in Oxfordshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted goodbye and pondered on what my wife would ask me if I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

• 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 VAT receipt.
