AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Buckinghamshire we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the right way to use it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at once. And obviously do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In the event that you did start the car you may likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

Call us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue 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.
