Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Manston and filled petrol in a diesel raspberry red Renault Modus hire car in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Dorset we are discovering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts have got the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and I was on the way to assist an old sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel creamy white Cadillac Escalade in Manston.

I reached the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only just purchased it a few days ago when my other one, which I had owned for about twenty five years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a delightful Dorset lady!
