AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to take care of every type of AdBlue contamination.

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.
