AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hampshire we are identifying increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (note: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right next to one another on the car.

So, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And definitely do not switch on the motor - not even to move it into a parking spot. In the event that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

In the event that you find yourself in this predicament do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the practical skills and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
