Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ram Alley - Wrong Fuel in Car Ram Alley

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening cycling on my off day and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Ram Alley. They'd broken down after inserting petrol into their faithful Dodge Challenger, and they were about an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this goes on frequently in Wiltshire and that it's absolutely nothing to get worried about, even so he all the same had an earful. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never 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.

• 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.
