AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we are noticing a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of motorists not being aware of the way to use it (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained asap. And certainly be careful not to turn over the car - not even to shift it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this situation do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have got the technical skills and experience to have you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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 VA receipt.
