Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.
