AdBlue In your Fuel

In Herefordshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially as a result of people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course don't start the car - not even to move it away from the pump. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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.

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.

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.
