Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations pretty simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.
