Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally wet and useless.

We have carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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