Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
