The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


AdBlue Contamination

In Worcestershire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely never turn over the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
