AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Warwickshire we are finding a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to people not understanding the right way to work with it (take note: it is in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

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

Because the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the case you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained at once. And most definitely be careful not to turn over the engine - not even to move it from the pump. In case you did start the vehicle you may likely need to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In case you end up in this situation don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination company. Our technicians have got the specialised know-how and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been fairly dead so far, and me and Ryan were loafing reading through several old articles. This was an uncommon restful time in Warwickshire. It was indeed so tranquil that the moment the telephone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the other end stated: "I have just concluded my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in the diesel father's Mazda B-Series Plus in error". We told him to inform us exactly where the car was situated and we headed out, arriving in Dunchurch only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. While we were heading back home we noticed two ladies at the side of the road who appeared to have a puncture.

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.
