It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were resting there discussing the recent football rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Pickwick and put petrol in a diesel elegant Saab 9-2X rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and less stressed. One more job in Wiltshire well done in my books!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Wiltshire we are finding a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (important: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most certainly don't start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
