AdBlue Contamination

All over Herefordshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly caused by people not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely never start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking place. In case you have started the car you may probably have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
