AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Norfolk we are noticing progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part caused by drivers not understanding the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. Assuming you put AdBlue in a fuel tank remove it at once. And of course take care not to switch on the car - not even to shift it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all probability have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.

Give us a call if it turns out you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.

I had appreciated a terrific evening fishing during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the following morning as I headed out to aid a new couple who were vacationing in Shereford. They had stopped after filling diesel into their blue Volvo850, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling off her hubby for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing goes on regularly in Norfolk and that it's nothing at all to worry about, however he in spite of everything had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel.

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.
