AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Staffordshire we are identifying more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is to a degree due to people not understanding the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly adjacent to one another on the vehicle.

Now, precisely what is the issue with putting AdBlue in the diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it's nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. In the case you poured AdBlue into the fuel tank get it drained right away. And certainly do not start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking place. Assuming you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the entire fuel system flushed and fuel filters replaced.
