Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.
