The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have noticed progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least 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 crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it immediately. And most certainly never switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Should you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
