The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

    • 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.
