AdBlue In Diesel

All around Gloucestershire we are identifying progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not knowing the way to use it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right next to each other on the car.

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

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained asap. And most certainly don't crank the motor - not even to shift it off the pump. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will attend to every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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.

• 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.
