AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Norfolk we are identifying increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly a result of drivers not knowing the right way to use it (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most definitely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In case you get in this position do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NR10 Postcode - Swanton Abbott Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel pristine Volvo S70 in Swanton Abbott. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was broken down on a backwater lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only just got it a short while ago because my previous one, which I'd had for over 25 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Norfolk woman!

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.

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.
