Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations rather expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
