It was around ten pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing there talking about the footy results, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Bordon and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Jaguar XJ lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to drivers being unsure of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.
