AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Gloucestershire we are encountering a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not being aware of the right way to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

Well, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it immediately. And definitely don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you may likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to handle all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.

• 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.
