Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
