Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly quickly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

• 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.
