AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Wiltshire we have identified an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the right way to use it (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the trouble with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

As AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it's like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Moreover, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not crank the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this situation don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our technicians have got the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.

Wrong Fuel Assist Calstone Wellington - Wrong Fuel in Car Calstone Wellington

I had a perfect day hiking during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next day as I was en route to assist a new couple on vacation in Calstone Wellington. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their matte black Mercedes CLS-Class, and they were roughly an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled to myself as I heard to the wife telling off her man for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on a regular basis in Wiltshire and that it's in reality nothing to be concerned about, even so he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally under no circumstances 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.
