AdBlue Contamination

Throughout Wiltshire we are noticing increasingly more instances of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is in part due to drivers not being aware of the way to use it (pay attention: it's not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly adjacent to one another on the car.

Now, what exactly is the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

As AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it is just like pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the slightest and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and filters. Assuming you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank drain it right away. And obviously take care not to crank the car - not even to relocate it from the pump. If you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system purged and filters replaced.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
