The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations quite simply.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

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