Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
