The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

    • 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.
  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 VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
