Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases very expediently.

You should know that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.
