AdBlue Contamination

All around Oxfordshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the car.

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

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Also, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most definitely never switch on the vehicle - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will attend to different types of AdBlue 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.
