The unfortunate lady was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

AdBlue Contamination

All around Leicestershire we are identifying progressively more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a consequence of people not knowing how to use it (remember: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Because AdBlue is mostly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you would very likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

Call us if it turns out you are a victim of AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and are able to correct all types of AdBlue liquid contamination.
