The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

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.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
