The poor thing was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle!

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over West Sussex we have seen more and more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of motorists not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters.

In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Water contaminated fuel

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines. Water in the fuel tank can produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations rather easily.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.
