AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Cambridgeshire we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If you have started the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

If you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical know-how and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.

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.
