Dan and me were seated talking about the rugby, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Hungryhatton and put petrol in her diesel work's Fiat Scudo rental by mistake. The poor thing was very irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Shropshire we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers being unsure of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to shift it from the pump. If you did start the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this position do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the practical skills and working experience to get you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.
