AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we have found an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And of course don't crank the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

If perhaps you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the specialised expertise and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in GL2 Postcode - Hardeicke Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was en route to assist an old sweetheart who had put petrol in her diesel friend's Audi 4000CS Quattro in Hardeicke. I had been advised she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a backwater road on route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was with her inside an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I'd only just got it a few days back right after my old car, which I'd owned for over twenty five years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks. What a pleasant Gloucestershire woman!

• 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.
