Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
