It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th call of the day to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Alkington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Dacia rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was very troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car!

Our Areas of Competency :

This is what we do best.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Shropshire we have seen progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel tank? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Phone us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to take care of all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines. Water in your fuel is likely to trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly water-logged and ineffective.
