AdBlue In Your Diesel
All around Bromley we have identified a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly due to motorists not knowing how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to each other on the automobile.
Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?
As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And most definitely be careful not to crank the car - not even to move it off the pump. In the event that you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.
In case you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Our fuel drainer went out, even though it was fairly late at night, and did a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the mustard yellow Mitsubishi Expo to everyone's satisfaction.

This was most definitely an unsociable time to be up. It was about sunrise and noone was stirring. It had been rather uneventful up to now, and me and Brian were loafing about reading through a couple of old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Bromley. Actually it was indeed that calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist on the other end told me: "I only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in a diesel uncle's Kia Sorento". We got him to inform us where he was located and we set off, ending up in Elmers End only 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back home we spotted two girls on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
