The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Essex we have found more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue contamination.
