AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Surrey we are finding more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly thanks to drivers not knowing how to work with it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

As the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly don't start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In case you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of 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.
