AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Staffordshire we have found an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Now, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't turn over the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If you have started the car you may in all probability need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

In the event that you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised competence and experience to get you back on the road promptly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

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 VAT 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.
