AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Essex we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And most definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

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.
