Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
