Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their bright red Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG, and they were roughly half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled as I heard to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this problem occurs everyday in Dorset and that it is nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still had his ear bent. Unfortunate boy. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the correct fuel.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
