Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances very simply.
You should know that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
