The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

All over County Durham we are identifying a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to motorists not knowing the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely don't start the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will likely have to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
