AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we have noticed increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part a result of people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (remember: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And absolutely don't turn over the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TS24 Postcode - Middleton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Monday and I was off to help an older lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel son's Mitsubishi Chariot in Middleton. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and broken down on a country road on route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the stricken lady and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had only purchased it a week back because my old car, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant County Durham woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Middleton - Wrong Fuel in Car Middleton

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a new couple on vacation in Middleton. They had stopped after adding petrol in their metallic grey Mitsubishi Chariot, and they were about an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this situation goes on quite frequently in County Durham and that it is nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything got his ear bent. Poor chap. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove away I mouthed goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.

• 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 VA 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.
