AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Shropshire we are encountering more and more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never crank the engine - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

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.
