AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Essex we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent a result of drivers not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And of course be careful not to start up the vehicle - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CO16 Postcode - Tendring Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Sunday and we were off to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey Audi in Tendring. I'd been advised she had driven away from the filling station and was stranded in a country road along the way to see her family. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just bought it a week back because my former car, which I had had for over 30 years, eventually died". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Essex woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Tendring - Wrong Fuel in Car Tendring

I'd had a wonderful afternoon fishing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the next working day as I set out to aid a new family vacationing in Tendring. They stopped after adding petrol in their modern Chevrolet Malibu, and the car was around half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the gal telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place continuously in Essex and that it's truly absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
