Eventually we got the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Nalderswood and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white Honda Civic lease car in error. She was rather affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!"

AdBlue Contamination

In Surrey we are finding increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people being unsure of the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it away from the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
