Chris, one of our mechanic customers, had a vehicle in after the last lot of big rains in Brisbane. The driver stated he definitely didn’t drive through any flood water, but the emulsified water-in-diesel within his fuel tank told us otherwise.

A quick drain and clean, then a couple of Fuel Doctor shock treatments to clean and protect the system and he’s up and running perfectly fine.

Quick thinking for a lucky outcome. Water-in-diesel contamination can quickly kill any common-rail. If he had ignored the fuel filter check light and continued driving, the likelihood would be a $15,000+ repair bill. Just 30ml of water passing through injectors at high pressure can blow the finely machined injector tips and completely ruin an engine.

So if it’s flooded… forget it!! You’re risking your life and your fuel system.

Remember to always use Fuel Doctor at every fill up… it helps protect from disasters as well as helping fix problems.

For our best package to get started with Fuel Doctor, grab the 1 Litre + 250ml Pack. For tanks larger than 100L or vehicles with over 200,000km grab a 2 Pack of 1 Litre bottles or for the best value, pick up our Fuel Doctor 5L.
