It was just before 6 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining!

Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Kirriemuir and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Lexus hire car by mistake.

AdBlue In Diesel

All around Angus we have identified more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly thanks to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car? Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

If perhaps you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course do not crank the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel can certainly lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.
