AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Staffordshire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

Now, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out at once. And most definitely don't start the car - not even to move it off the pump. In case you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to handle all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.
