It was close to 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! James and I were seated there discussing the recent sports rankings, waiting for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Housham Tye and filled petrol in a diesel silver Mazda323 lease car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we have found a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the right way to use it (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

If you get in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Housham Tye - Wrong Fuel in Car Housham Tye

I had a wonderful day fishing on my off day and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I set out to help a new family who were vacationing in Housham Tye. They'd conked out after adding petrol into their canary yellow Mazda B-Series Plus, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this situation goes on constantly in Essex and that it is nothing to be concerned about, however he yet still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!
