AdBlue In your Fuel
All over Hertfordshire we are encountering increasingly more occurrences of AdBlue contamination when an individual has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel fuel tank. This is to a certain extent due to people not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and in part because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are normally right close to one another on the automobile.
Now, what's the issue with putting AdBlue in your diesel vehicle?
Seeing that AdBlue is predominantly ionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water do not blend whatsoever and attempting to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. In addition, the urea is incredibly corrosive to the fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystallisation, damaging injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank empty it immediately. And most certainly do not switch on the engine - not even to relocate it into a parking place. In case you did start the car you will in all likelihood need to have the complete fuel system purged and fuel filters replaced.
Call us in the event that you are a casualty of AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Contaminated Fuel Specialists and can easily take care of all kinds of AdBlue fluid contamination.
