AdBlue In your Fuel

In Wiltshire we have encountered increasingly more examples of AdBlue contamination where somebody has poured AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is in part as a result of people not understanding the way to to make use of (note: it's not a fuel additive), and partly due to the fact that the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the car.

So, what exactly is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually just like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water really don't mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Furthermore, the urea is very corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue in your fuel tank empty it right away. And definitely take care not to start the car - not even to relocate it to a parking area. Assuming you did start the car you would probably need to have the entire fuel system flushed and filters replaced.
