The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
