AdBlue Contamination

All over Croydon we have discovered increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (take note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking place. If you did start the car you will in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters changed.

Call us if you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will fix every type of AdBlue 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.
