Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.
