AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Cambridgeshire we are discovering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being totally sure the right way to use it (be aware: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it's as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it at once. And certainly do not crank the motor - not even to move it to a parking spot. Assuming you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE28 Postcode - Houghton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Tuesday and I was on my way to help an elder lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Fiat Doblo in Houghton. I'd been told she had left the filling station and pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I have been becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel because I'd only purchased it several days ago because my old car, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Cambridgeshire lady!

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.
