AdBlue Contamination

All over Northamptonshire we have noticed progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (pay attention: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly don't start up the car - not even to move it into a parking place. If perhaps you have started the car you will probably need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Any time you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our experts possess the practical skills and experience to have you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

I had appreciated a great day fishing during my holiday and felt contented the following working day as I set out to aid a new family holidaying in Briar Hill. They had pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their bright yellow Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for turning out to be so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it's actually nothing at all to be concerned about, but he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would say to me if I made the same mistake... I would personally never hear the end of it!

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.
