AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Herefordshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously do not switch on the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In case you have started the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix every type of AdBlue liquid 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.
