The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
