AdBlue In Your Diesel
All over Gloucestershire we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people not knowing how to work with it (please note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.
So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?
As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it right away. And certainly do not start the motor - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will probably need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
In case you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fishpool
I'm not necessarily very excited about carrying out work on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids after having a magnificent Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was en route to assist a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his wife's Seat Exeo. He was situated in Fishpool hence it wasn't long before I arrived with him. As I arrived right behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other considerations and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I brought on damage because of running it?" I said that there shouldn't be any harm and that I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so another satisfied customer could continue their trip without the need for hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that tends to make operating on weekends in Gloucestershire just that small bit easier for me!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become fairly quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing around reading a number of old papers. That was an uncommon peaceful time in Gloucestershire. Actually it was that tranquil that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The customer on the other end stated: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my cobalt blue Mercedes Sprinter 2500". I told him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Fishpool an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were coming back to the office we spotted two young women at the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled up to change it, to their elation.
