AdBlue In Diesel

In Staffordshire we have discovered a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination whereby somebody has put AdBlue directly into their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a consequence of people not understanding the right way to use it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and partly because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly close to one another on the car.

Well, what is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is as bad as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not mix at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Furthermore, the urea is fairly corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, blocking injectors and filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue in a fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And certainly take care not to start up the engine - not even to relocate it to a parking area. In cases where you have started the car you would almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed.

Should you discover yourself to be in this scenario do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our technicians have the practical skills and working experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.
