It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the recent golf, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Horsington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Mazda B2500 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find her swiftly.

AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

I'd had a perfect day fishing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next morning as I set off to aid a young family who were on holiday in Horsington. They had broken down after adding petrol into their blue Chevrolet Camaro, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so confused. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place frequently in Somerset and that it is nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted good-bye and considered what my wife would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I would never hear the end of it!

• 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.
