Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite simply.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly 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.

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.
