Finally we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Tricketts Cross and put the wrong fuel in a diesel son's VW Eos hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!"

AdBlue Contamination

All over Dorset we have identified progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In case you have started the car you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to take care of all kinds of AdBlue contamination.
