Eventually we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Alverstoke and put petrol in her diesel Smart rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hampshire we have encountered a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of people not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what is the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Contact us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue contamination.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be wholly wet and useless.
