Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

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.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
