The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly due to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And of course do not start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. If you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Should you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our technicians possess the specialised knowledge and experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
