AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Northamptonshire we have encountered a lot more instances of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (important: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are typically right close to one another on the automobile.

Well, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition to this, the urea is seriously corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not switch on the motor - not even to shift it away from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you will most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.

In case you get in this predicament don’t panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our engineers have got the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road promptly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
