AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we are noticing progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is partially stemming from people not being aware of the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely take care not to turn over the engine - not even to move it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us in the event that you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct 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.
