We can help you with all these mis-fuel problems.

AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Scottish Borders we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank? As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters.

If in case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines. Putting water in diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.
