AdBlue In Diesel

All over Derbyshire we have discovered an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously do not start the vehicle - not even to maneuver it from the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would most likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Call us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct different types of AdBlue fluid 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.
