AdBlue In Diesel

In Herefordshire we have encountered an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from people not being totally sure the right way to use it (take note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the car.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out at once. And obviously be careful not to crank the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

In the event that you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the technical expertise and experience to get you back on your way promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.

• 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.
