AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Herefordshire we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is extremely corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously never switch on 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 complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Contact us if you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to handle all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on my way to help an older lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Volkswagen Touareg 2 in Lea Line. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a rural road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a week back when my previous car, which I had owned for over twenty years, finally died". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Herefordshire woman!

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.
