Finally we received the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Langholm and put petrol in her diesel Fiat rental car. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car!

I got the location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car.

AdBlue Contamination
In Dumfries and Galloway we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the vehicle.
Well, what exactly is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Seeing that AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters.
In the event that you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.
Water contaminated fuel
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty quickly.
Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and ineffective.
