The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.
