AdBlue In your Fuel

All around West Sussex we have seen more and more cases of AdBlue contamination where an individual has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being totally sure how to to make use of (take note: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent simply because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently right next to each other on the vehicle.

Well, what's the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Since AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not ever blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is incredibly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. In case you put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And of course take care not to start up the motor - not even to maneuver it into a parking place. In cases where you did start the vehicle you may in all likelihood need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.
