It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were resting discussing the recent rugby results, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Winchmore Hill and put petrol in a diesel expensive Cadillac STS-V rental car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately do happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Enfield we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to work with it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course never start the motor - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our experts have the technical expertise and working experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
