The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will often result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
