AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Essex we have identified an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing as the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And definitely do not start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB11 Postcode - Audley End Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were on the way to assist an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel uncle's Mercedes-Benz C-Class in Audley End. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "Now I'm becoming fairly forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel since I'd only bought it several days ago when my old one, which I used for more than thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Essex lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Audley End - Wrong Fuel in Car Audley End

I appreciated a perfect evening cycling on my day off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set out to assist a new couple on vacation in Audley End. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel into their bright red Skoda Citigo, and were approximately an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to clarify that this happens on a regular basis in Essex and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to worry about, but he still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I'd never hear the end of it!

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.
