It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting talking about the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Histon and filled petrol in a diesel metallic grey Ford Fusion lease car. She was pretty affected apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Cambridgeshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are identifying increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely take care not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
