The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances rather easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

It truly was the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Ray and I were relaxing looking through several old papers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Essex. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the opposite end explained: "I have just concluded my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my shiny Vauxhall Insignia in error". We instructed him to inform us where exactly he was and we hit the road, ending up in Holland-on-Sea only 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so fast. While we were coming back home we noticed two young women at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
