AdBlue In your Fuel

All around East Sussex we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it at once. And definitely don't start the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you would very likely need to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Earls Down

Now I'm not necessarily very interested in doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home after having a fantastic Sunday roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a fellow after he had filled the wrong fuel in his wife's VW Touareg 2. He was situated in Earls Down so it wasn't a long time before I arrived with him. As I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on something else and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any harm as a result of running it?" I stated there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and one more happy client could carry on with his traveling without any subsequent bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is exactly what helps make operating on Sundays in East Sussex that little better for me personally!

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.
