The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out immediately. And most definitely never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you end up in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so silly.

I attempted to explain that this occurs frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he still had his ear bent. Unlucky lad. In any case, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching while they drove off I shouted so long and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I'd never hear the end of it!
