AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Berkshire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly stemming from drivers not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And definitely don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Phone us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type 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.
