It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and me were resting there talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Armshead and filled petrol in a diesel company's Mercedes-Benz SL-Class rental car by mistake. The poor lady was rather irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen.

AdBlue In your Fuel

In Staffordshire we are identifying a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not knowing the right way to work with it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And certainly take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I got there at their location and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for turning out to be so confused.
