It was around ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting going over the footy results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Hartley Green and put petrol in her diesel shiny Porsche Boxster rental in error. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was only a short distance off from us, we were able to get to her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Hackney done well in my mind!

AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Hackney we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.
Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.
