We can assist you with all these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue Contamination

All around Essex we are identifying more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people not knowing how to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly never turn over the engine - not even to move it off of the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.
