AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we are encountering a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (take note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to each other on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking area. If you did start the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Longsdon - Wrong Fuel in Car Longsdon

I'd had a fantastic afternoon cycling during my off day and was feeling contented the next morning as I set out to aid a new couple holidaying in Longsdon. They had broken down after putting diesel in their spotless Ford Aspire, and they were close to an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the woman chastising her husband for being so stupid. "Precisely how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this situation happens constantly in Staffordshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and wondered what my wife would ask me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never live it down!

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.
