AdBlue In Your Diesel

All around Staffordshire we are identifying an increasing number of occurrences of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is partially as a result of people being unsure of the right way to use it (note: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the situation with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Also, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank remove it at the earliest opportunity. And definitely never switch on the motor - not even to shift it into a parking place. In case you did start the vehicle you will probably have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters changed.
