Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to cause idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
