AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of drivers not being totally sure the way to use it (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystallisation, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it asap. And most definitely be careful not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it off the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may almost certainly have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.

Contact us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Saturday and we were on the way to help an older lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous BMW Z8 in Woodcock. I'd been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane along the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had just purchased it several days back after my other one, which I used for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Wiltshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Woodcock - Wrong Fuel in Car Woodcock

I had appreciated a wonderful evening cycling on my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I was en route to aid a new family vacationing in Woodcock. They broken down after adding diesel into their company's Chevrolet Suburban, and they were close to an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the gal telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in Wiltshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, but he still got his ear bent by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted goodbye and thought about what my missus would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never 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.
