Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Snow End and filled petrol in her diesel buff Skoda Fabia hire car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the car!

AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Hertfordshire we are identifying a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to each other on the vehicle.

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

As the product is mostly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it right away. And most certainly take care not to start the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In case you did start the car you will very likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and have the ability to correct all kinds 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.
