It was about 6 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Gransmore Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cream VW Golf III rental by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could find her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the motel she was living at.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If perhaps you get in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gransmore Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Gransmore Green

I had a wonderful day hiking on my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new family who were on holiday in Gransmore Green. They'd conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their Ferarri red Mercedes M-Class, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed as I heard to the woman berating her man for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs continuously in Essex and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he yet still got an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While they drove down the road I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me if I made the same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!
