AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Dorset we have noticed a growing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing the way to work with it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out immediately. And of course never turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will correct every type of AdBlue 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 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.
