Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.
