Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
