AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around East Sussex we are discovering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the car.

So, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is mainly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

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.
