Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
