We can help you with these mis-fuel mistakes.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Essex we are noticing increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't turn over the motor - not even to shift it into a parking bay. If perhaps you did start the car you would in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Putting water in the diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.
