Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
