Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly simply.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.
