AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Bexley we have seen an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to crank the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Temple Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Temple Hill

I enjoyed a fantastic day fishing on my off day and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set off to help a new family who were holidaying in Temple Hill. They had conked out after putting petrol into their dark green Volvo V40, and the car was close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the lady chastising her man for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs everyday in Bexley and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I drained all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
