Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances very easily.
Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.
