AdBlue Contamination

In Herefordshire we have seen progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

So, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it away from the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us if it turns out you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle every type of AdBlue liquid contamination.

I punched the location into the TomTom and was with her inside an hour. I got to the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had just purchased it several days back when my former car, which I'd had for over twenty five years, finally broke 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.
