AdBlue Contamination

All around Herefordshire we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly caused by people being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at once. And obviously never start the engine - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you get in this situation do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised skills and working experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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.
