Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite swiftly.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Horsham - Wrong Fuel in Car Horsham

I'd had a perfect afternoon fishing on my off day and was feeling contented the following morning as I was en route to assist a young couple holidaying in Horsham. They broken down after adding diesel in their deep grey Honda CR-V, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl chastising her man for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing occurs continuously in West Sussex and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, even so he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel.
