AdBlue In Your Diesel

How to handle it in the event that you have poured AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that is made from a mix of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%).

Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will likely be pulled into the fuel lines and will quickly start to crystalise, resulting in devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was around. It had been quite quiet thus far, and Ray and I were loafing about looking through a number of old newspapers. That was an unusual peaceful hour in Somerset. It was so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I've just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in a clean white Cadillac Allante". We got him to inform us where the car was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Norton Hill only an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thanks for getting there so fast. While we were going back home we spotted two young ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, to their elation.

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.
