AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Shropshire we have seen increasingly more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is to some extent stemming from drivers not being aware of the right way to use it (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right adjacent to each other on the car.

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

Since the product is primarily deionised water, it's as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out as soon as possible. And definitely take care not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you will very likely need to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

In the event that you end up in this scenario don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the specialised expertise and working experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or hassle.
