AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure how to use it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously never switch on the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Having water in fuel tank can result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.
