AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hampshire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being aware of how to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

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

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely take care not to start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily handle every type of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hounsdown - Wrong Fuel in Car Hounsdown

I had a great evening golfing during my off day and felt contented the following day as I set off to help a new family who were on holiday in Hounsdown. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their new-shape Mercedes R-Class, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I listened to the woman telling off her spouse for actually being so silly. "How could you even be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to explain that this takes place quite frequently in Hampshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I waved goodbye and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
