AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Somerset we have seen an increasing number of examples of AdBlue contamination when somebody has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is partly caused by motorists not knowing the way to use it (remember: it's not a fuel additive), and in part due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. Furthermore, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. If you find you put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained as quickly as possible. And absolutely do not start the engine - not even to move it off the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and fuel filters changed.

Any time you find yourself in this predicament do not fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination service. Our engineers possess the technical competence and experience to get you back on the road swiftly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
