AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Norfolk we have encountered a growing number of cases of AdBlue contamination whereby a motorist has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially due to drivers not knowing how to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often directly adjacent to one another on the car.

So, precisely what is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in the slightest and trying to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly never crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. In cases where you did start the car you may in all likelihood have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
