Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and useless.
