The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
