Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.
