The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Worcestershire we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent as a result of people not being totally sure the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Call us if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.
