Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations very easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

I emerged at their position and smirked while I heard to the gal berating her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this happens regularly in Lancashire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. Anyways, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel.
