AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we are noticing an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from motorists not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely do not turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

I had a perfect afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling contented the next working day as I set off to aid a young couple on vacation in Leaton. They conked out after inserting diesel into their son's Daihatsu Rocky, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and laughed while I heard to the wife berating her spouse for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on everyday in Shropshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his wife. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed hasta la vista and pondered on what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would never hear the end of it!
