AdBlue Contamination

All over Hertfordshire we are discovering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue right into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly caused by motorists not being aware of how to use it (note: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the situation with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is extremely corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And most certainly never start the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking place. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
