Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.
