James and I were resting going over the recent football results, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Creekmoor and put petrol in a diesel bright red Saab 9000 rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could get to her rather quickly.

AdBlue Contamination

In Dorset we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely don't turn over the engine - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.
