AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Surrey we have encountered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly don't turn over the motor - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the car you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you end up in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Egham - Wrong Fuel in Car Egham

I'd had a terrific evening hiking on my off day and felt satisfied the following working day as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Egham. They'd conked out after adding diesel in their boss' MINI Cooper, and they were about an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this occurs regularly in Surrey and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!
