It was around 8 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! James and me were seated talking over the golf, ready for the seventh job to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Summerstown and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Kia rental car. She was pretty agitated apparently, stating "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably can happen.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wandsworth we are discovering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? Since AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines. Water in your fuel may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally wet and unusable.
