Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ragdon - Wrong Fuel in Car Ragdon

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking during my off day and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to help a new family away in Ragdon. They had broken down after putting petrol in their new Cadillac Allante, and were around an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass constantly in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, and yet he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. In any case, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong 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 VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
