It was before eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the recent sports rankings, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Lippitts Hill and filled petrol in a diesel red VW Tiguan lease car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Greenwich well done in my opinion!

AdBlue In Diesel
All over Greenwich we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.
Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course be careful not to start the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Should you discover yourself to be in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts have the practical know-how and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
