AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Surrey we are encountering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding the way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.
Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely never crank the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
Whenever you end up in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical skills and experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and Paul and I were loafing looking at some old newspapers. This was an uncommon quiet moment in Surrey. It was in fact that calm that when the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the other end stated: "I just finished my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel new-shape BMW Z4 M by mistake". I told him to inform us where exactly he was located and we set off, ending up in Charlwood only an hour or so later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said thanks for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back home we spotted two girls on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we got out to change it, to their elation.
