AdBlue Contamination
Throughout Cambridgeshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the automobile.
So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?
Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course never crank the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Should you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

This was the night shift. It was around dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet up to now, and me and Paul were loafing browsing a few old newspapers. It was a rare tranquil moment in Cambridgeshire. It was in fact that quiet that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end explained: "I have only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a mustard yellow Volvo850". We told him to inform us exactly where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Ellington under 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. While we were heading back home we found two girls on the edge of the street who seemed to have a flat. So we got out to change it, much to their elation.
