Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
