The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
