Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Ashford Carbonell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mustard yellow BMW Z4 rental car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have messed up the car!

AdBlue Contamination

All over Shropshire we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely never start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Poor chap. At any rate, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel.
