This is what we do best.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Birmingham we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to some extent thanks to drivers not being aware of how to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously do not crank the motor - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations very easily.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.
