AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we are discovering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree caused by drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines. Having water in your fuel tank will often bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.
