AdBlue In Diesel

All around Somerset we are encountering a lot more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly caused by motorists being unsure of the right way to to make use of (note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly near to one another on the vehicle.

So, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Seeing as the product is primarily deionised water, it is almost the same as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is extremely corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If in case you have put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it out asap. And definitely don't switch on the car - not even to move it off the pump. Assuming you have started the vehicle you may very likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and fuel filters changed.
