It was around 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting there going over the footy results, prepared for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Heckfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Land Rover rental car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!"

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Hampshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part due to people not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel tank can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be wholly wet and unusable.
