AdBlue Contamination

All around Greenwich we have discovered an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent stemming from people being unsure of the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Moreover, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, clogging injectors and filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it at once. And most certainly take care not to turn over the motor - not even to shift it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may most likely have to have the full fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
