AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Derbyshire we are discovering progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent caused by people being unsure of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

So, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE55 Postcode - Higham Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to assist an older sweetheart who put contaminated fuel in her diesel stylish Land Rover Freelander II in Higham. She told us that she had left the filling station and pulled up along a country lane on the way to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel as I had only bought it a couple of days back after my former car, which I had used for over twenty five years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Derbyshire woman!

We are completely compliant and insured so you recognise that the car is in risk-free hands. On top of that, our experts are fully certified and knowledgeable in dealing with the majority of makes.

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.
