The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely be careful not to start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. If you have started the car you will most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the technical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

The motorist on the opposite end stated: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the diesel brand new Volvo S90 in error". We instructed him to tell us exactly where he was located and we hit the road, arriving in Tollesbury no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor.
