The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
