Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
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.
