It was after 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh call to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Merley and put petrol in a diesel khaki green Toyota Sequoia hire car. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from the office, we could reach the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and a lot less worried. A misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Dorset we are finding a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And definitely never crank the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would probably need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
