AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Somerset we have encountered a growing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination when somebody has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is partly as a result of motorists not being aware of how to to make use of (note: it is not a fuel additive), and partly simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the vehicle.

Now, what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel car?

Seeing that the product is primarily ionised water, it's nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is seriously corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, blocking injectors and filters. If you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it immediately. And obviously do not crank the car - not even to shift it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may almost certainly need to have the full fuel system flushed and filters changed.
