Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both situations rather simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.
