It was after 7 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting there going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next call to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Staining and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Isuzu i-Series lease car in error. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was just a few miles away from our van, we could get to the customer without delay.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Lancashire we have encountered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to one another on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And certainly never start the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you did start the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact 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 correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
