AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Derbyshire we have seen a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to each other on the car.

Now, exactly what is the matter with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And certainly do not crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

I appreciated a fantastic afternoon hiking on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Brackenfield. They'd pulled over after adding petrol in their metallic blue Austin Mini Cooper, and the car was close to an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman berating her hubby for being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this takes place everyday in Derbyshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel.

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.

• 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.
