AdBlue In Diesel
Throughout Oxfordshire we have identified progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly thanks to motorists not being totally sure the way to work with it (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally right near to one another on the vehicle.
Well, exactly what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?
As AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is fairly corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. If you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out immediately. And absolutely don't crank the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In case you did start the car you would most likely have to have the whole fuel system cleaned and fuel filters replaced.
Contact us if it turns out you are affected by AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to fix every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
