AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Essex we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of drivers not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously never crank the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
