The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and we were off to help an elder lady who put petrol in her diesel buff Jeep Cherokee in Quabrook. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up in a country road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I had only just bought it several days back because my former one, which I'd had for in excess of 25 years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant East Sussex lady!
