AdBlue In your Fuel

What to do if you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be harmful to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will be squirted into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive damage to your car's fuel system.

I had a wonderful afternoon hiking on my off day and felt delighted the following day as I was en route to help a new couple away in Three Ashes. They had conked out after putting diesel in their father's Audi RS 4, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her man for being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Hampshire and that it is nothing to fret about, even so he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

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.
