Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.
