It was about six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the rugby rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Wigston and put petrol in a diesel work's Toyota MR2 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Leicestershire we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And absolutely do not start the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may very likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.
