Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty quickly.

Be aware that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

I'd had a wonderful day golfing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next morning as I was en route to help a young family holidaying in Lickfold. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their cream Audi Quattro, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I heard to the wife telling her partner off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this happens constantly in West Sussex and that it is nothing to fret about, however he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I extracted all the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
