AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Sutton we are noticing an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers being unsure of the way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to each other on the car.
Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to move it into a parking bay. If you have started the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Call us if you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Carshalton - Wrong Fuel in Car Carshalton
I had appreciated a great afternoon golfing during my off day and felt contented the following morning as I set off to assist a young couple away in Carshalton. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their mint condition Suzuki Kizashi, and the car was roughly an hour away. I turned up at their position and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing takes place regularly in Sutton and that it's nothing to stress about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally never live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Carshalton
Now I am not necessarily overly keen on running weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from the family after having a fantastic dinner made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a fellow after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his friend's Seat Leon. He was located in Carshalton so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank God! I stupidly had my attention on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted harm simply by starting it?" I stated that generally there should not be any harm and that I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and thus yet another pleased customer could carry on with his journey with no fuss. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this can make earning a living on weekends in Sutton just that little bit better for me personally!
