It was around ten pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there going over the recent footy, waiting for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Before long we got the call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Sandpit and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Mitsubishi Montero rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

So, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
