AdBlue In your Fuel

In Hounslow we have discovered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to people not understanding how to use it (remember: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to one another on the automobile.

So, what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually just like putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

I appreciated a terrific evening cycling on my day off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Box Hill. They'd stopped after filling diesel in their super Daewoo Leganza, and they were about an hour away. I emerged at their location and laughed as I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "How could you actually manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Hounslow and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, but he all the same had an earful. Poor chap. In any case, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and considered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
