Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be totally wet and ineffective.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
