The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
