AdBlue In your Fuel

All over 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 caused by drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (remember: it's in truth not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what's the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And definitely do not crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In case you have started the vehicle you may most likely need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Wrong Fuel Assist Steyning - Wrong Fuel in Car Steyning

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling pleased the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple who were away in Steyning. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their well worn Mercedes-Benz R-Class, and the car was approximately half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their car and smirked as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on on a regular basis in West Sussex and that it is absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor guy. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
