It was about 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were resting talking about the golf rankings, prepared for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Gadfield Elm and put the wrong fuel in her diesel modified Volkswagen Beetle hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things often happen.

AdBlue Contamination

All over Worcestershire we have identified more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

If perhaps you end up in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
