Here is a list of the incorrect fuel services we give.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Midlands we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car? Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters.

Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And most definitely do not start the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines. Water in the petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.
