Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.
