The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Merseyside we have found progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part caused by people not understanding the way to to make use of (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out immediately. And obviously do not switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. If perhaps you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised competence and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
