AdBlue In Diesel

All around East Riding of Yorkshire we have identified an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly thanks to people not knowing how to work with it (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not crank the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Give us a call if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all types 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 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.
