Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
