AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Northamptonshire we are discovering a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination when someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of the right way to work with it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And most certainly take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no 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.
