Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations fairly easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
