AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Northumberland we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

We've performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Longhoughton - Wrong Fuel in Car Longhoughton

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I set off to assist a young couple on holiday in Longhoughton. They'd pulled over after putting the wrong fuel in their mate's Alfa Romeo Spider, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the woman telling her man off for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Northumberland and that it is nothing to fret about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what my missus would do to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
