It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Itchen Stoke and put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Jeep Comanche hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Hampshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it immediately. And of course never turn over the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
