It was around six pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Shenley Church End and put petrol in a diesel Hyundai hire car. The poor lady was rather affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Buckinghamshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely don't start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines. Putting water in your fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
