AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Merseyside we are noticing progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partly thanks to drivers not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right near to each other on the vehicle.

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

Since the product is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Contact us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue 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 VAT 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.
