AdBlue In Diesel

In Essex we have seen increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly be careful not to start the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

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.

• 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.
