AdBlue In Your Diesel

What to do in case you may have put AdBlue into a Diesel tank?

Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be pulled into your fuel lines and will immediately start to crystalise, leading to catastrophic and expensive damage to your automobile's fuel system.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and nobody was about. It was fairly uneventful so far, and Mark and I were loafing about reading a number of old articles. This was an unusual peaceful moment in Derbyshire. It was that relaxing that the moment the phone rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a partner's Volkswagen in error". I got him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Dalbury no more than an hour later. The fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we saw two young women at the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
