Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances quite easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3am and almost noone was around. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a number of old papers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Cambridgeshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist explained: "I've just ended my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a diesel sky blue Jaguar in error". We got him to inform us where he was and we left, getting to him in Harlton less than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he thanked us profusely for coming so quickly.

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.
  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.
