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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.
