AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Somerset we have encountered progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially stemming from motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing that the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not switch on the car - not even to move it to a parking place. If you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

In the event that you end up in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the practical competence and working experience to have you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

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 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.
