AdBlue In Diesel

All around Surrey we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by motorists being unsure of the way to work with it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In case you get in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the technical knowledge and experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A woman from Epsom with a full car of children in her diesel uncle's Mercedes CLS-Class had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that everything would be fine and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked.

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.
