The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

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.

If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
