AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially as a consequence of motorists being unsure of how to use it (important: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And definitely take care not to start the motor - not even to relocate it away from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may most likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

• 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.
