Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.

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.
