Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
