AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Nottinghamshire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a consequence of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is mostly ionised water, it is nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as soon as possible. And most definitely do not start up the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you will most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their mustard yellow BMW 650, and the car was approximately half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself as I heard to the gal telling her hubby off for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this problem occurs frequently in Nottinghamshire and that it's actually nothing at all to fret about, nevertheless he still got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
