AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Warwickshire we are noticing more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to a degree a result of people not understanding the way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

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

As AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. Furthermore, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it right away. And most definitely don't turn over the vehicle - not even to shift it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical expertise and experience to get you back on your way quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CV47 Postcode - Bascote Misfueling

Just had a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to help an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel blue Land Rover Defender 90 in Bascote. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel as I'd just purchased it a few days ago when my old one, which I had used for more than 30 years, finally died". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Warwickshire woman!

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.
