AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have found increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may probably need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed.

Just had a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to help an elder woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny BMW Z4 in Acton Green. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a country road en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I reached the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel since I had just purchased it a short while ago right after my former one, which I'd had for over 25 years, inevitably died". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Herefordshire woman!

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.
