Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
