It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were resting talking about the recent tennis results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Dogingtree Estate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel racing green Citron DS3 rental. She was fairly affected apparently, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Staffordshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a result of motorists being unsure of how to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not turn over the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

In case you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical expertise and working experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.
