AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Essex we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not understanding 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 next to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely be careful not to start the car - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heybridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Heybridge

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to assist a new family vacationing in Heybridge. They had broken down after putting the wrong fuel in their metallic grey Mercedes SL-Class, and they were around half an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I heard to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "How could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this comes to pass everyday in Essex and that it's truly nothing at all to worry about, and yet he in spite of everything had his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I mouthed farewell and thought about what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the same error... I would never hear the end of it!

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.
