AdBlue In your Fuel

All over Devon we are discovering progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a motorist has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly as a result of motorists not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly next to each other on the automobile.

Now, exactly what is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel vehicle? Because AdBlue is primarily deionised water, it is like putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't mix whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water will never work. In addition to this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system hoses and seals and is at risk of crystalising, damaging injectors and filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines. Water in diesel or petrol will lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be wholly water-logged and useless.
