AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Somerset we have encountered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a degree as a result of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the trouble with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And certainly take care not to switch on the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the vehicle you will in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

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.
