AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Northamptonshire we have identified increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein somebody has poured AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the way to work with it (remember: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Additionally, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank empty it as soon as possible. And most certainly do not start up the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

Any time you discover yourself to be in this predicament don’t panic! Call us, the UK’s Number one fuel contamination business. Our engineers possess the practical know-how and working experience to get you back on the road rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.
