AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Somerset we have discovered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never switch on the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. If perhaps you have started the vehicle you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can correct different types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

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 VA 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.
