The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances quite easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

I had enjoyed a perfect evening cycling during my day off and was feeling contented the following day as I was on the way to help a new family who were on holiday in Stowey. They'd stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their work's Mitsubishi 3000GT, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her hubby for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs continuously in Somerset and that it's truly nothing to worry about, however he in spite of everything got an earful by his better half. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally never ever live it down!

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were relaxing reading through several old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet time in Somerset. It was in fact that tranquil that when my mobile finally rang I jumped! The motorist stated: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel blue Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in error". We instructed him to tell us exactly where he was and we headed out, getting to him in Stowey not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor and he thanked us profusely for getting there so promptly.
