Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors.

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:

    • 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.
