AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not being totally sure the right way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to each other on the car.

So, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can take care of all types of AdBlue fluid 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.
