The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
