Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling station in Romiley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Audi 4000CS Quattro hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Greater Manchester we are finding increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never start the car - not even to shift it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Wrong Fuel Assist Romiley - Wrong Fuel in Car Romiley

I had a great day cycling on the weekend and was feeling cheerful the next day as I headed out to help a new family on vacation in Romiley. They conked out after putting diesel into their light green BMW Z4 M, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so foolish. "How could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this happens on a regular basis in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to stress about, nevertheless he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!
