The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ramsdean

I'm not actually very inclined to carrying out work weekends, and a week ago was the same. I'd just come away from home after having a magnificent Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he put the wrong fuel in his brother's VW Touareg. He was somewhere in Ramsdean thus I arrived on scene very quickly. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted some harm by simply driving it?" I determined there shouldn't be any harm and that also I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with the appropriate fuel, and then one more pleased motorist could carry on with his trip without the fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make operating on Sundays in Hampshire a little bit easier for me!
