Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite easily.
