Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.
