AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Leicestershire we have identified a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the matter with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it asap. And obviously never switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In case you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Contact us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to handle different types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.

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.
