AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Nottinghamshire we are noticing a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by drivers not being totally sure the way to work with it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly near to each other on the automobile.

Well, exactly what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out asap. And of course take care not to crank the engine - not even to move it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may most likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stony Dale - Wrong Fuel in Car Stony Dale

I'd had a fantastic evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling contented the next morning as I was on the way to aid a young couple who were vacationing in Stony Dale. They had pulled over after putting petrol into their new Vauxhall Insignia, and were roughly an hour away. I showed up at their position and laughed while I listened to the lady telling her partner off for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation occurs regularly in Nottinghamshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted good bye and considered what her indoors would ask me if I did the exact same thing... I would 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.
