Before long we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Shuthonger and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Audi Allroad hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have identified progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent caused by people not knowing the way to use it (important: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
