AdBlue Contamination

Throughout County Durham we are encountering more and more examples of AdBlue contamination when a driver has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of drivers being unsure of the right way to work with it (important: it is not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly close to one another on the vehicle.

So, what exactly is the problem with putting AdBlue in your diesel car?

Since AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it's as bad as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend in the least and trying to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, damaging injectors and filters. In the event that you poured AdBlue into a fuel tank drain it as quickly as possible. And absolutely never turn over the car - not even to maneuver it into a parking spot. Assuming you have started the vehicle you would probably have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed out.

Whenever you find yourself in this position don’t fret or panic! Call us, the UK’s Premium fuel contamination service. Our experts have the technical skills and experience to get you back on your way swiftly and efficiently, no mess, no fuss.

I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the drain she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a week back when my former one, which I had owned for about 30 years, inevitably broke down". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. Such a pleasant County Durham woman!
