Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Horncastle

Now I'm certainly not that enthusiastic about doing the job Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just departed home after eating a superb roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his grey Austin Mini. He was situated in Horncastle so I arrived there soon. Just as I pulled up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on something else and didn't ascertain I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about some problems by simply running it?" I revealed there probably should not be damage and also I would personally get the fuel drained as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the correct fuel, and then one more happy motorist was able to carry on with their journey without any subsequent fuss. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make working on Sundays in Berkshire just a little bit easier for me personally!

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
