AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ilminster - Wrong Fuel in Car Ilminster

I appreciated a fantastic evening fishing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following morning as I set off to aid a young family who were away in Ilminster. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their new Jaguar XF, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her man for actually being so confused. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation takes place regularly in Somerset and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
