AdBlue In Diesel

All around County Durham we have discovered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of people not understanding the right way to work with it (please note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. If perhaps you did start the car you would likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

If you find yourself in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DH2 Postcode - Urpeth Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel bright red Mercedes-Benz SL-Class in Urpeth. She told us that she had left the filling station and was broken down on a rural road on route to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I'm getting rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I had only got it a few days back right after my other one, which I had for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful County Durham lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Urpeth - Wrong Fuel in Car Urpeth

I had a terrific evening cycling on my off day and felt pleased with myself the following working day as I set off to aid a new family who were on holiday in Urpeth. They had broken down after filling petrol in their dark green Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and were roughly half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so daft. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this occurs constantly in County Durham and that it's actually nothing to stress about, but he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

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 VA 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.
