Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances very simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.
