Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations rather easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.
