Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances very expediently.
