AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Surrey we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by people not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it is just like 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 extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly be careful not to turn over the motor - not even to maneuver it off the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

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

Wrong Fuel in Car in SM7 Postcode - Woodmansterne Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was off to help an older sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Toyota FJ Cruiser in Woodmansterne. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I am becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a week ago because my previous car, which I'd used for in excess of thirty years, finally died". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Surrey woman!

We are properly registered and covered and thus you know the vehicle is in risk-free hands. With around 150 years of joint fuel removal experience we know the correct way to have the job completed - no mess, no fuss.

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.
