AdBlue In Diesel

All over Somerset we have seen an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people not knowing how to to make use of (please note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to one another on the vehicle.

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

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And of course take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would almost certainly have to have the entire fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily attend to every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tuckerton - Wrong Fuel in Car Tuckerton

I had enjoyed a perfect evening hiking on my day off and felt satisfied with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple on holiday in Tuckerton. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their sky blue Hyundai Accent, and they were around an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her man off for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this problem occurs all the time in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to stress about, however he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good bye and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the exact same error... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
