The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations fairly simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
