Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances quite expediently.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was about 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were loafing about reading a couple of old newspapers. It was a rare peaceful hour in Oxfordshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that when the phone rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end said: "I finished my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the diesel rugged Seat Alhumbra". We got him to let us know where he was and we hit the road, getting to him in Baldon Row under half an hour later.

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.
  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.
