It was close to 9 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Horn Ash and put the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Skoda Citigo rental. The poor lady was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A job in Dorset done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we are finding more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers being unsure of how to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
