Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will often result in idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.
