The poor lady was very irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle!

AdBlue In Diesel

All over Cheshire we have found increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you will most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to attend to every type of AdBlue contamination.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
