Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

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:
• 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 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.
