Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
