AdBlue In Diesel

All over Nottinghamshire we are noticing a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a result of drivers not understanding how to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Because the product is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it immediately. And obviously don't turn over the vehicle - not even to relocate it away from the pump. In the instance that you did start the car you may in all probability have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

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.
