Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Rucklers Lane and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Cadillac Escalade EXT rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hertfordshire we are encountering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the automobile.

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

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking area. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.
