Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather expediently.
Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
