AdBlue In Diesel

In Kent we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent due to motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel car? As the product is mostly ionised water, it is actually like pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters.

Assuming you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And of course never crank the motor - not even to move it into a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all likelihood need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Fuel contaminated with water

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines. Water in petrol or diesel can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains
