AdBlue Contamination
All around Hampshire we are finding more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the car.
So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?
Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.
Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct all kinds of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SO21 Postcode - Standon Misfueling
What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Sunday and we were on the way to assist an older lady who put petrol in her diesel bright white Audi Coupe Quattro in Standon. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane on the way to see her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car using diesel since I had just bought it a week ago when my previous car, which I had used for more than 30 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Hampshire lady!

- A lot of smoke (more than usual)
- Engine coughing or starting to splutter
- Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
- 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.
