Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
