The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Suffolk we have discovered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of motorists not understanding how to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And most definitely don't start the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
