AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Berkshire we are encountering more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding how to use it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And of course be careful not to start the engine - not even to move it from the pump. If you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.

• 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.
