The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Greenwich we are encountering progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

I had a wonderful day fishing on my holiday and felt delighted the next morning as I was en route to help a young family who were on vacation in Plumstead. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their friend's Mazda RX-7, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl chastising her husband for being so foolish. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs frequently in Greenwich and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!
