AdBlue In Diesel

All over Staffordshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

They pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their customised Toyota Corolla, and were around an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed while I heard to the wife telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass everyday in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still got his ear bent by his missus. Poor boy. In any case, I extracted the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was about 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were sitting browsing a couple of old magazines. That was a rare calm moment in Staffordshire. Actually it was indeed so peaceful that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I jumped! The motorist on the phone said: "I just completed my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in my daughter's Jaguar X-Type by mistake". I told him to tell us where he was and we set off, reaching him in Hill Ridware not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle and he said thanks for coming so fast. As we were returning home we saw two women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help them change it, much to their elation.
