AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Northamptonshire we have discovered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Since the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue in your fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And obviously take care not to crank the vehicle - not even to shift it to a parking bay. In cases where you have started the vehicle you would in all probability have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

I had appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling delighted the following morning as I set out to help a new family who were away in Rothersthorpe. They'd conked out after putting petrol in their green Chevrolet Malibu, and they were close to half an hour away. I arrived at their location and smirked while I heard to the lady telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this happens quite frequently in Northamptonshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to stress about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I waved goodbye and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!
