We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to remove and dispose of waste fuel safely and legally.

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Nottinghamshire we have seen progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to some extent a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right next to each other on the vehicle.

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

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And obviously do not start the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the car you will likely have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

In case you find yourself in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians possess the specialised skills and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

• 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.
