It was before 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting talking about the tennis, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Greta Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless VW Touareg lease car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away satisfied and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout County Durham we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not knowing how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to fix every type of AdBlue contamination.

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