AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Barnet we have encountered more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to people not understanding how to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In the case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained asap. And definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the event that you did start the vehicle you will in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

In case you get in this situation do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination company. Our technicians have the practical expertise and working experience to have you back on your way promptly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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.
