It was after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and me were sitting going over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Mowmacre Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Peugeot 2008 hire car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen.

The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Leicestershire we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a result of people not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
