Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to address in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.
