AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Derbyshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not understanding the way to use it (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't start the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can fix all kinds 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.
