Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
