The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
