AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Wiltshire we have seen a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly due to people not understanding the right way to use it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Well, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly don't crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the practical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I had enjoyed a fantastic evening cycling during the weekend and was feeling cheerful with myself the next day as I headed out to help a new couple holidaying in Wanborough. They stopped after adding diesel in their sunflower yellow Citron, and were close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "How could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place on a regular basis in Wiltshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, nevertheless he yet still had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

A lady from Wanborough with her children in her diesel uncle's Mazda MX-3 had put £45 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she discovered that something could be done and her car 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.
