It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were resting talking over the footy results, waiting for the next job that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Colerne and filled petrol in a diesel dirty red Ford Focus lease car in error. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from people not understanding how to work with it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to each other on the car.

Now, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct every type of AdBlue contamination.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
