AdBlue In Diesel

All over Worcestershire we are noticing more and more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is in part a result of drivers not understanding the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is predominantly deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it out as quickly as possible. And most certainly never start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. If you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.

Whenever you discover yourself to be in this predicament do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination service. Our engineers have the technical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

Wrong Fuel in Car in WR13 Postcode - Welland Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to help an older lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel clean white Audi A8 in Welland. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a country lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got her location punched in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only bought it several days back when my previous one, which I had for over twenty years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Worcestershire lady!

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.

• 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.
