AdBlue In Diesel

All over Leicestershire we are discovering a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a motorist has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is partly stemming from drivers not being totally sure the way to to make use of (note: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what's the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel car?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you have put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it as quickly as possible. And most certainly do not turn over the car - not even to relocate it to a parking spot. In the event that you have started the car you will likely need to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

In case you find yourself in this predicament don’t fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the technical know-how and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
