Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
