Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather quickly.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
