Adblue is a diesel system additive usually put in a vehicle to make exhaust gases less dirty. However, it should only be utilized by experts who understand where and how to use it. Or else, it would cause troubles and problems to your car. The wrong usage can, however, be avoided through the use of its own AdBlue tank and filler cap. But it is very possible to experience wrong AdBlue usage, especially if the additive is added directly to the fuel or added by someone who is not aware of the procedure.
Signs of AdBlue contamination also include the vehicle not running perfectly and eventually stopping. Good news is we are at all times willing to help.

It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting going over the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station and filled petrol in a diesel Farnley Tyas lease car. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to get the car into a protected spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction well done in my books!
