Our Areas of Expertise :

This is exactly what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we have discovered a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

If in case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the fuel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases quite expediently.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and ineffective.
