Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
