The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to result in idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • 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 VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
