Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases rather swiftly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.
