AdBlue In Diesel

In Worcestershire we are discovering an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding the right way to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly close to each other on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since the product is predominantly deionised water, it's just like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained immediately. And absolutely take care not to start up the vehicle - not even to move it to a parking area. In case you have started the car you may most likely have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

If you get in this position don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our experts have the specialised knowledge and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

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.

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.
