The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.
