AdBlue In Your Diesel
In Norfolk we are encountering an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent thanks to people not knowing how to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.
Now, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?
Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously take care not to start the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.
Give us a call if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to fix different types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hunts Corner - Fuel Rescue Hunts Corner
This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 3am and hardly anyone was around. It was pretty dead thus far, and Ray and I were loafing looking through some old magazines. It was an uncommon peaceful time in Norfolk. Actually it was that peaceful that the moment the telephone inevitably rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the other end explained: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel racing green Mazda626 in error". We got him to inform us where the car was and we left, getting to him in Hunts Corner only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He said many thanks for showing up so quickly. While we were going back to the office we saw two women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
