It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated there discussing the recent golf, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Farcet and filled petrol in a diesel Citroen rental car by mistake. She was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things often happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not knowing the right way to use it (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not turn over the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines. Water in the diesel or petrol will cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.
