The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases very quickly.
