Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Lanehouse and put the wrong fuel in a diesel grass green Porsche Cayman rental. The unfortunate thing was rather affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the car - not even to move it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
