It was just before 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing talking about the tennis, prepared for the seventh call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Brook and put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Fiat Uno lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Surrey we have noticed increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely be careful not to start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

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