AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Dorset we are encountering a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby a person has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely don't start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. Assuming you did start the car you would almost certainly have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BH16 Postcode - Organford Misfueling

What a great night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to help an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged VW Beetle in Organford. I'd been informed she had driven away from the filling station and pulled up in a backwater road on the way to visit her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I got to the location and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only just purchased it a short while ago right after my other car, which I had used for more than 25 years, finally broke down". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Dorset lady!

I had enjoyed a perfect evening golfing during the weekend and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were on vacation in Organford. They conked out after putting diesel into their compact BMW X6, and were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the gal telling off her hubby for turning out to be so silly. "How could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this problem takes place continuously in Dorset and that it is nothing at all to worry about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyway, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what my missus would say to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

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.

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.
