AdBlue In Diesel

In Tower Hamlets we have noticed a lot more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when a driver has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent due to motorists not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the vehicle.

Well, what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it asap. And of course don't crank the motor - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In cases where you did start the car you will in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed.
