It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there talking about the recent football, ready for the sixth job to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Barmer and put the wrong fuel in a diesel baby blue Volkswagen rental car. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from us, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have identified progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the car you would in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
