It was around 7 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting commenting on the rugby rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Buckland and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Hyundai Entourage lease car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are discovering increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly as a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (please note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and are able to correct all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Buckland - Wrong Fuel in Car Buckland

I enjoyed a terrific evening hiking during my off day and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to assist a new couple holidaying in Buckland. They had broken down after filling the wrong fuel into their mate's Nissan Pathfinder, and were close to half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smiled as I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so foolish. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Oxfordshire and that it is nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved goodbye and thought about what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!
