AdBlue In your Fuel

Throughout Staffordshire we are noticing an increasing number of instances of AdBlue contamination wherein an individual has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree stemming from drivers not being totally sure how to use it (important: it's in reality not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to one another on the automobile.

Now, what's the matter with putting AdBlue in the diesel tank?

As the product is predominantly deionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank drain it asap. And certainly be careful not to start up the engine - not even to maneuver it to a parking area. In the instance that you did start the car you would almost certainly need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters replaced.
