AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Greater Manchester we are finding an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination where an individual has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not knowing how to use it (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And of course do not start up the car - not even to relocate it into a parking bay. In the instance that you have started the car you would very likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
