Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

They had conked out after putting petrol into their raspberry red Range Rover Sport, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smiled as I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so foolish.

I wanted to clarify that this occurs continuously in Somerset and that it's nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he all the same got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky guy. In any case, I drained all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed so long and considered what my wife would tell me if ever I made the exact same blunder... I would under no circumstances live it down!

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.

    • 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.
