AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we are discovering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most definitely take care not to crank the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In case you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Should you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians possess the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.


Wrong Fuel in Car in HR5 Postcode - Lower Hergest Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and we were on the way to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel compact Land Rover Freelander II in Lower Hergest. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I had only just bought it a short while ago right after my other car, which I owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious 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:

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.

  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.
