Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
