AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Gloucestershire we have found increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly due to people not being aware of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the automobile.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it's like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And obviously do not start up the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

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.
