The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

In Gloucestershire we are finding progressively more cases of AdBlue contamination where a driver has put AdBlue into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a degree a result of people being unsure of the right way to work with it (remember: it is not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Now, what is the situation with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle?

Since AdBlue is mainly deionised water, it is nearly as good as pouring water in your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. In addition to this, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystalising, clogging injectors and fuel filters. In the event that you put AdBlue in the fuel tank get it drained immediately. And most definitely never switch on the car - not even to shift it to a parking place. In the instance that you have started the vehicle you may in all probability have to have the full fuel system purged and filters replaced.

Phone us if it turns out you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can assist. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and will correct every type of AdBlue fluid contamination.
