The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

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.
  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 VA receipt.
