Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I headed out to help a young couple who were vacationing in Wittering. They conked out after inserting diesel into their beloved BMW 325, and were approximately half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I heard to the woman telling off her spouse for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on daily basis in Cambridgeshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, but he yet still had an earful by his wife. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
