The poor lady was very distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've ruined the car!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over County Durham we have encountered progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists being unsure of the way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely do not start up the car - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
