AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Lincolnshire we are identifying a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent as a consequence of people being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Now, precisely what is the trouble with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And absolutely never start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking area. If you have started the car you would very likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PE21 Postcode - Skirbeck Misfueling

A lady had come to a halt on a road, Skirbeck having just misfueled. She was in tears and quite troubled as she had put £42 of petrol in her diesel car.

Wrong Fuel Assist Skirbeck - Wrong Fuel in Car Skirbeck

I appreciated a fantastic evening golfing during my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I set off to help a young family who were on holiday in Skirbeck. They conked out after inserting petrol into their cream Peugeot 104, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl telling her spouse off for being so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place constantly in Lincolnshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still got an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyway, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove off I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the very same mistake... I would 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 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.
