AdBlue In Diesel

All around Lancashire we are discovering an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree due to people being unsure of the way to use it (be aware: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally right close to each other on the car.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained right away. And definitely be careful not to crank the engine - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you would probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will handle different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BB7 Postcode - Great Mitton Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel baby blue Toyota Sienna in Great Mitton. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a country lane on route to see her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she said, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just acquired it a week back right after my old one, which I'd owned for over 30 years, eventually stopped working". I completed the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Lancashire lady!

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 VA 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.
