The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases rather simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.
