AdBlue Contamination

All around Nottinghamshire we have noticed an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to switch on the vehicle - not even to move it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Call us if you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

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.
