Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
