AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout West Sussex we have discovered a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (take note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Well, exactly what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it right away. And of course do not start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking place. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may probably have to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.

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.
