AdBlue In Diesel

All over Oxfordshire we have found more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mainly stemming from motorists not understanding the way to use it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the motor - not even to move it away from the pump. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may probably need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid 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.
