AdBlue Contamination

Throughout West Sussex we are noticing increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly due to people being unsure of how to use it (important: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to one another on the car.

Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank get it out asap. And absolutely never start up the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. Assuming you have started the car you would almost certainly need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed out.

In case you discover yourself to be in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PO20 Postcode - Hunston Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a gloomy Sunday and we were en route to help an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel grey Chevrolet Caprice in Hunston. I had been informed she had left the filling station and broken down on a country road en route to pay a visit to her family. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car taking diesel because I had only got it a week ago after my old car, which I used for about 25 years, inevitably broke down". I got the drain completed and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious West Sussex 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.
