AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Herefordshire we have found an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not understanding how to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the vehicle.

So, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly never crank the motor - not even to move it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In case you get in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our experts possess the technical skills and working experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.
