AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Shropshire we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partly stemming from people not understanding how to to make use of (pay attention: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally right adjacent to each other on the car.

Well, what is the issue with having AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mostly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it at once. And most certainly take care not to switch on the engine - not even to maneuver it from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters changed out.

Call us if it turns out you are suffering from AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will be able to attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.

• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
