AdBlue In Diesel
All over Richmond upon Thames we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the vehicle.
So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely don't start up the engine - not even to move it into a parking area. In case you did start the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to fix different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TW2 Postcode - Strawberry Hill Misfueling
What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Monday and I was on the way to help an older lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel partner's Ford C-MAX Hybrid in Strawberry Hill. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up along a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd just got it a couple of days back right after my old car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Richmond upon Thames woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Strawberry Hill
I am certainly not so excited about running on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I'd just departed the family following a tasty dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was on the way to deal with a man who had put the wrong fuel in his sunflower yellow Range Rover. He was located in Strawberry Hill and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other things and failed to realise I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any harm because of running it?" I explained generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I would drain the wrong fuel quickly for him. Obviously I removed the wrong fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another satisfied customer was able to carry on with his ride without fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes carrying out work on Sundays in Richmond upon Thames that tiny bit less painful for me personally!
