Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances very swiftly.
