AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Nottinghamshire we have encountered increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is partially due to motorists not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly near to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As the product is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it as quickly as possible. And obviously don't switch on the vehicle - not even to move it into a parking spot. In cases where you have started the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
