AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Gloucestershire we are noticing a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not being totally sure how to work with it (remember: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3:30am and noone was stirring. It was fairly dead until now, and Mark and I were relaxing reading through a few old newspapers. It was an unusual peaceful time in Gloucestershire. It was in fact so quiet that when the phone rang I leaped! The voice on the phone said: "I have finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the modern BMW 645 in error". I asked him to let us know where exactly the car was and we set off, getting to him in Watermead not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming so quickly. While we were coming back home we noticed two women at the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we got out and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
