AdBlue Contamination

In Somerset we are finding an increasing number of cases of AdBlue contamination where someone has put AdBlue right into their diesel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not being aware of how to work with it (be aware: it's in fact not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the situation with having AdBlue in the diesel car?

Seeing as the product is primarily ionised water, it's like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Moreover, the urea is highly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you put AdBlue in a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And absolutely don't crank the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. In case you did start the car you will likely need to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.

Call us if it turns out you are struggling with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can attend to all types of AdBlue fluid contamination.
