AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Warwickshire we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it asap. And definitely take care not to start the vehicle - not even to relocate it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you will very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about dawn and noone was around. It was quite uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing reading through a number of old articles. That was an uncommon peaceful hour in Warwickshire. Actually it was that relaxing that when the phone rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I only just finished my overnight shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a apple green Cadillac Escalade ESV in error". I told him to inform us where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Ratley less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming out so rapidly.

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.
