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 in many cases a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in AL7 Postcode - Haldens Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were on my way to help an old lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Peugeot Partner in Haldens. She informed us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I plugged her location in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had just got it a couple of days back right after my previous car, which I had owned for over 30 years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Hertfordshire woman!

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