Dan and me were resting there commenting on the weekend's tennis rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Barningham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel modern Kia Spectra5 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car!

AdBlue In Diesel

How to handle it if you have put AdBlue in a Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical composed of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be devastating to your automobile's fuel system, particularly if you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the diesel tank. As soon as the engine has been started the AdBlue will likely be injected into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, triggering disastrous and costly harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

They'd pulled over after filling diesel into their teal Mercedes R-Class, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smiled while I listened to the woman telling her partner off for actually being so confused.

I wanted to explain that this happens frequently in Suffolk and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nonetheless he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
