AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout West Sussex we are encountering increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from motorists not being totally sure the right way to use it (please note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank get it out right away. And of course be careful not to start up the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If you did start the car you would very likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Elmers Marsh - Wrong Fuel in Car Elmers Marsh

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to help a young family who were holidaying in Elmers Marsh. They had conked out after inserting diesel in their rugged Citron Zara, and the car was roughly an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the lady berating her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation happens frequently in West Sussex and that it is nothing at all to be anxious about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
