AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Derbyshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mostly a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously don't start up the engine - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all types of AdBlue liquid 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 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.
