Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.
