Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Gosford and put petrol in her diesel white Range Rover rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Should you end up in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the technical competence and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
