Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car South Hinksey

I'm certainly not overly interested in doing the job on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the family after a superb dinner prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a man after he put the wrong petrol in his friend's Kia Sedona. He was located in South Hinksey hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on other things and failed to ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created problems by starting it?" I said there shouldn't be any harm and that also I'd personally drain the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and then one more happy motorist was able to carry on with their journey without hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and this is what makes operating on weekends in Oxfordshire that little bit less painful in my opinion!

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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