AdBlue In Diesel

All over Hampshire we have discovered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part stemming from drivers not being totally sure the right way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And obviously never turn over the engine - not even to relocate it from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you will very likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical knowledge and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only just bought it a week back when my former car, which I'd owned for about 30 years, inevitably died".

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.
