AdBlue In your Fuel

All around Suffolk we have discovered progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination whereby an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is mainly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the way to to make use of (take note: it is not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are often right adjacent to each other on the automobile.

So, what is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work.
