Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to address in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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.

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.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. 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 VAT 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.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
