AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have noticed increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent stemming from motorists not being totally sure the way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course be careful not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In case you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our experts have got the specialised know-how and working experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

I got the job done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Lancashire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Tanterton - Wrong Fuel in Car Tanterton

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented the next morning as I was en route to assist a young couple who were holidaying in Tanterton. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their rugged Peugeot 104, and were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her husband for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his better half. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good bye and considered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.

• 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 VA 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.
