AdBlue In Your Diesel
Throughout Hampshire we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not knowing how to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the automobile.
So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to relocate it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Contact us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wellow Wood - Wrong Fuel in Car Wellow Wood
I appreciated a wonderful day golfing on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were on holiday in Wellow Wood. They'd stopped after adding diesel into their classic Citron DS4, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife berating her husband for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass everyday in Hampshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, however he yet still got an earful by his missus. Poor chap. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would under no circumstances live it down!
