AdBlue In Diesel

In Norfolk we are discovering a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partially a result of motorists not understanding the way to work with it (note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is highly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank remove it asap. And obviously don't crank the car - not even to shift it to a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you will likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Give us a call in the event that you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can handle all kinds 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.
