AdBlue In Diesel

In Shropshire we have identified a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to drivers not knowing the way to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right close to one another on the automobile.

So, precisely what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel car?

As the product is mostly deionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is at risk of crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. In the case you have put AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it asap. And most definitely take care not to switch on the engine - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you have started the car you may most likely have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Give us a call if it turns out you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can take care of different types of AdBlue contamination.
