Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil.

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