AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Hertfordshire we are noticing a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from people being unsure of how to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right next to one another on the car.

So, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel tank?

As the product is primarily deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work.
