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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
