The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very simply.

You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

    • 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.
