AdBlue In Diesel
All over Derbyshire we are encountering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.
Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?
Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously don't turn over the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
Wrong Fuel in Car in S18 Postcode - Coal Aston Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 am on a warm Saturday and I was en route to help an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel elegant Range Rover Sport in Coal Aston. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only purchased it several days ago because my old one, which I had used for about 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she offered me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant Derbyshire woman!
