AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we are identifying a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mainly a result of motorists not knowing the right way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

As the product is predominantly ionised water, it is just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely be careful not to switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it from the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tidworth - Wrong Fuel in Car Tidworth

I had a terrific evening cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I set off to help a new couple who were away in Tidworth. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their bright yellow Cadillac XLR, and were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens on a regular basis in Wiltshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyway, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. While they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what my wife would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances 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.
