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


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

I enjoyed a wonderful day fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Hipswell. They stopped after adding diesel into their teal Volkswagen Passat, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed while I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem comes to pass constantly in North Yorkshire and that it's nothing at all to stress about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I removed the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!
