AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Somerset we are discovering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination where someone has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of people not being aware of the way to work with it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and partially simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly near to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is primarily ionised water, it is just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not blend in any way and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Additionally, the urea is fairly corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank remove it asap. And most certainly take care not to turn over the vehicle - not even to move it away from the pump. In cases where you have started the car you may most likely need to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

Call us in the event that you are going through AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and have the ability to take care of all types of AdBlue contamination.
