AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely take care not to start up the engine - not even to shift it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Whenever you get in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the specialised know-how and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.

  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.
