Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.
