Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX10 Postcode - Crowmarsh Gifford Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an older lady who had put petrol in her diesel apple green Jeep Compass in Crowmarsh Gifford. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while back when my former one, which I had had for in excess of 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a precious Oxfordshire lady!

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
