James and I were relaxing there talking over the footy results, waiting around for the 8th job to arrive. Before long we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol station in Audley End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Hyundai rental in error. The poor lady was very agitated apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things happen.

AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we are finding a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by people not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Since the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters.

If perhaps you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you would most likely have to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water inside your diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
