AdBlue In Your Diesel

What you can do in the event that you’ve poured AdBlue into a Diesel fuel tank?

Once the engine has been started up the AdBlue is going to be dragged into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, leading to devastating and expensive harm to your vehicle's fuel system.
