AdBlue In Diesel

Throughout Bristol we are noticing a lot more examples of AdBlue contamination wherein a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is mostly a result of motorists not being aware of the way to to make use of (be aware: it is not a fuel additive), and to some extent because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically directly next to each other on the vehicle.

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

Seeing that the product is predominantly ionised water, it is actually nearly as good as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water do not mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system pipes and seals and is more prone to crystalising, obstructing injectors and filters. If you find you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank empty it right away. And of course never start up the engine - not even to shift it away from the pump. If perhaps you did start the car you would most likely need to have the whole fuel system purged and filters changed.

Phone us in the event that you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We can certainly help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily attend to all types of AdBlue contamination.
