Contamination with AdBlue or Water

Putting the wrong fuel in your car isn’t the only cause of engine problems. Such symptoms as lack of power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

AdBlue if added improperly it can also display similar symptoms in your car. This additive which is used to purify the emissions of your engine should only be added through its own separate tank and automatic dosing system inbuilt into the car rather than straight into a fuel tank of a diesel engine. If added manually, this should be done by someone who knows the proper place to put it.

In these situations, we can give the services of draining the fuel, flushing the engine and refilling with clean fuel, like in the case of filling your tank with the wrong fuel. It does not matter what the cause is, we can get you back on your way. Furthermore, we can replace the fuel filters damaged by water.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

I appreciated a terrific evening cycling during my off day and felt cheerful the next day as I set off to assist a young couple holidaying. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Shorncliffe Camp, and were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the wife chastising her man for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this situation goes on on daily basis and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. At any rate, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I'd never ever hear the end of it!
