AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Greater Manchester we have seen increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is in part as a consequence of people not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the situation with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank? As the product is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters.

In the event that you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And obviously don't crank the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. If perhaps you have started the car you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases very simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be wholly wet and useless.
