The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

All over Wiltshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And of course do not switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you have started the car you will in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Harnham - Wrong Fuel in Car Harnham

I had a fantastic evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I was en route to help a young couple who were vacationing in Harnham. They'd conked out after adding petrol into their partner's BMW 545, and the car was around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I listened to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this problem comes to pass continuously in Wiltshire and that it's really nothing to fret about, even so he all the same had his ear bent. Unfortunate guy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved good bye and considered what my wife would do to me if I made the very same mistake... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!
