AdBlue In Diesel

In Dorset we have encountered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (please note: it is actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the car.

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

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's just like putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly don't turn over the car - not even to move it from the pump. In case you have started the car you would likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed out.

Contact us in the event that you have experienced AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
