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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases pretty simply.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This really was an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to sunrise and nobody was stirring. It had become quite uneventful so far, and me and Mark were sitting about reading through a couple of old articles. That was a rare restful hour in Surrey. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the moment the phone finally rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my luxury VW Beetle". We instructed him to tell us where the car was situated and we headed out, arriving in Lower Kingswood 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were coming back to the depot we noticed two young women at the side of the road who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.
