AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to drivers being unsure of the right way to use it (pay attention: it is actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And absolutely don't switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you would likely need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

If perhaps you get in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our experts have got the technical know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

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.
