AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Richmond upon Thames we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a degree thanks to motorists not being aware of the right way to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly near to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will take care of every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
