AdBlue In your Fuel

All around County Durham we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to each other on the car.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start up the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. If you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to every type of AdBlue fluid 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 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.
