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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and unusable.
