AdBlue In your Fuel
All around Somerset we are noticing more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially caused by drivers not knowing the right way to work with it (important: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often directly next to one another on the vehicle.
Now, what's the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?
Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it out right away. And definitely don't start the car - not even to shift it off the pump. In the instance that you did start the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system cleaned and filters changed.
Give us a call in the event that you are suffering with AdBlue contamination. We will help you. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and will fix all kinds of AdBlue contamination.
