Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.
