AdBlue In Diesel

In Hampshire we have noticed progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists being unsure of the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the car.

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

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly take care not to start up the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

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.

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.
