It was before 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were resting talking over the golf, waiting for the next telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Baston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel well worn Land Rover Discovery hire car. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Lincolnshire we have encountered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not being totally sure how to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
