The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
