Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
