The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite easily.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
