AdBlue In Diesel

All over Herefordshire we have found a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not knowing the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

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

Because AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Moreover, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
