In due time we received a call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Chaffcombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green BMW M Roadster rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find her rather quickly.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely never turn over the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this situation do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
