Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations rather swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
