Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sowerby - Wrong Fuel in Car Sowerby

I had a great afternoon fishing during my day off and felt cheerful the next morning as I headed out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Sowerby. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their well worn Chevrolet Caprice, and were close to an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I heard to the wife berating her spouse for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on quite frequently in North Yorkshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove off I waved hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
