AdBlue In Diesel

All over Dorset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to to make use of (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.

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

Since AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In the event that you did start the car you will almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Chilcombe - Wrong Fuel in Car Chilcombe

I had a perfect day hiking during my holiday and was feeling pleased the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family on vacation in Chilcombe. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their metallic green Mitsubishi Endeavor, and they were approximately an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I heard to the wife berating her husband for actually being so foolish. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this takes place on daily basis in Dorset and that it's truly nothing at all to fret about, even so he still got an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what my missus would say to me if ever I made the same error... I would never ever live it down!

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 VA 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.
