This is to a degree as a result of motorists being unsure of how to to make use of (please note: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are normally directly next to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the trouble with putting AdBlue in a diesel tank?

Because the product is predominantly ionised water, it's just like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is quite corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is more prone to crystalising, damaging injectors and fuel filters. If perhaps you have put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it at the earliest opportunity. And most definitely never start up the car - not even to maneuver it to a parking spot. In the instance that you have started the car you may in all likelihood have to have the entire fuel system cleaned and filters replaced.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
