Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases very expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their shiny Toyota Highlander Hybrid, and they were about an hour away. I turned up at their car and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so confused.

I tried to explain that this goes on constantly in Lancashire and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I shouted bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!
