AdBlue In Diesel

How to proceed in the event that you have put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a solution that is made of a blend of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It can be devastating to your car's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in your diesel tank. Whenever the engine has been started up the AdBlue will be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to serious and costly damage to your vehicle's fuel system.

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling cheerful the following day as I headed out to aid a young family on holiday in Tottington. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their dirty red Mazda RX-7, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself while I listened to the lady berating her partner for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this takes place quite frequently in Norfolk and that it's nothing to worry about, nonetheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about 2 in the morning and almost noone was stirring. It had become quite uneventful until now, and Brian and I were loafing around reading through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon calm hour in Norfolk. Actually it was so peaceful that when the telephone rang I leaped! The person said: "I've only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in my shiny Citron". I told him to inform us just where he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Tottington only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the vehicle. He thanked us for showing up so quickly. While we were returning home we saw two ladies on the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to change it, to their elation.

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 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.
