AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are encountering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most certainly be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

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.
