It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 6th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bowyers Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Jeep Grand Cherokee rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my opinion!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we are finding an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the automobile.

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

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And of course be careful not to start the car - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.
