The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.
