It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were relaxing talking over the recent rugby rankings, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Gorsley and filled petrol in a diesel Ferarri red BMW Z4 M Roadster rental. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and not so worried. Another job in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely do not switch on the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
