AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Hertfordshire we have found progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it immediately. And of course take care not to turn over the engine - not even to maneuver it off the pump. If you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tolmers - Wrong Fuel in Car Tolmers

I had enjoyed a great afternoon hiking on the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next morning as I was en route to help a new couple who were holidaying in Tolmers. They'd broken down after putting petrol into their bright red BMW Z4, and were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself as I heard to the woman telling her man off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to clarify that this occurs frequently in Hertfordshire and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I drained out all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
