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 actually a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
