The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Shropshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part thanks to motorists not understanding how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start up the car - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

I'd had a wonderful day hiking during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were vacationing in Knockin Heath. They had conked out after putting diesel into their mate's Suzuki Swift, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smirked while I heard to the lady berating her hubby for being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in Shropshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved good bye and wondered what my wife would say to me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

We told her that the vehicle would be alright and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.
