The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet 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.

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

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • 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.
