The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.
