Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite easily.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
