AdBlue In Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most certainly be careful not to crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking place. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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.
