It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Mengham and put petrol in a diesel son's Nissan Armada hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel
How to proceed in the event that you’ve put AdBlue into your Diesel tank?
AdBlue is a liquid made from a mixture of urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). AdBlue is actually devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your fuel tank. The moment the engine has been started up the AdBlue will likely be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.
