AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained right away. And absolutely don't crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the car you would in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters changed out.

If you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel Assist Ford - Wrong Fuel in Car Ford

I'd had a wonderful day hiking on my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the following day as I was on the way to aid a new couple vacationing in Ford. They broken down after filling diesel into their sky blue Cadillac XLR, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed as I listened to the girl telling off her partner for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Somerset and that it is nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally never 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.

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.
