AdBlue Contamination

In Derbyshire we are identifying an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly due to drivers not being aware of how to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Boulton - Wrong Fuel in Car Boulton

I'd had a perfect day golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling contented the following day as I headed out to aid a young family who were on holiday in Boulton. They pulled over after filling petrol in their mum's Austin Mini Cooper S, and they were approximately an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady telling her man off for being so foolish. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Derbyshire and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, however he still got an earful. Unfortunate boy. In any case, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed good-bye and thought about what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the very same error... I'd personally under no circumstances 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 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.
