摘要：	Fuel and AdBlue contamination can spell disaster for modern engines, and one way it can occur is by simple human error. Diesel nozzles are larger in diameter than petrol, so it's highly unlikely a mistake will be made in that direction, but putting petrol into a diesel tank is perfectly possible, and in these days of endlessly escalating fuel prices, the opportunity is greater as well - after all, there can be few of us who haven't seen vans, small lorries and even tractor units filling up at supermarket petrol stations on occasions. AdBlue is another area of concern, especially when decanted out of cans or drums.. Putting petrol in a diesel engine can, indeed, have damaging effects, confirms Andy Mudie, engineering manager at DAF Trucks. The first instance, however, isn't even in the cylinders themselves, but all the components in between. "Diesel as a fuel has very good lubricity, and as a result, many components are designed to utilise these lubricating properties," Mudie points out. This lack of lubrication may not be apparent straight away, but damage may manifest itself in future, impacting heavily on the reliability of the vehicle.
