AdBlue In your Fuel

In Somerset we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to people being unsure of the way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this situation don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

• 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.
