AdBlue In Diesel

What you should do if you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made from a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and deionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in your tank. Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will immediately begin to crystalise, bringing about serious and expensive harm to your car's fuel system.

Call us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR4 Postcode - Mitcham Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to assist an old lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel dad's BMW 6 Series in Mitcham. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down on a country road on route to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a few days back right after my other car, which I had had for in excess of twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks. Such a lovely Merton woman!

We hold comprehensive Environment Agency licencing and full Liability insurance for your own personal reassurance. Through in excess of 150 years of joint fuel drainage know-how we know the correct way to have the task finished - full stop.

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.
