Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances quite simply.

You should know that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.

• 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.
