Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
