The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.
