AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Hertfordshire we have noticed a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If you did start the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

If perhaps you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to have you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

This was an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and Brian and I were relaxing perusing a number of old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil hour in Hertfordshire. It was indeed that peaceful that when my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the opposite end explained: "I have concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel canary yellow Hyundai Genesis Coupe". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was situated and we left, arriving in Sarratt Bottom an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said many thanks for coming so promptly.

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.
