Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.
