AdBlue In Your Diesel

All over Gloucestershire we have encountered a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination wherein someone has put AdBlue directly into their diesel tank. This is to a certain extent thanks to drivers not knowing the way to use it (please note: it's actually not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are frequently directly close to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?

Seeing that AdBlue is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really do not blend in any way and attempting to run a diesel car on water cannot work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is susceptible to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. If in case you poured AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained as soon as possible. And definitely do not turn over the car - not even to shift it from the pump. Assuming you did start the car you may very likely have to have the complete fuel system cleaned and filters changed.

Call us if you have suffered with AdBlue contamination. We will help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily fix every type of AdBlue contamination.
