Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Brockhurst - Wrong Fuel in Car Brockhurst

I had a great afternoon golfing during my day off and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Brockhurst. They'd broken down after filling the wrong fuel in their beautiful BMW X6 M, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her partner for turning out to be so silly. "How could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this goes on on a regular basis in Warwickshire and that it is nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his better half. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I made the very same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
