AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DE7 Postcode - Kirk Hallam Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an old sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Skoda Fabia in Kirk Hallam. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a backwater road on route to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel because I'd only just acquired it a week ago because my former car, which I used for more than 30 years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful Derbyshire woman!

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.
