AdBlue Contamination

In Lancashire we have discovered progressively more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a driver has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is mostly due to drivers not being totally sure the right way to to make use of (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially due to the fact that the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are typically right next to one another on the car.

Well, what is the situation with having AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Seeing that the product is mainly ionised water, it is actually as bad as putting water into your tank. Diesel and water really don't blend at all and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Also, the urea is seriously corrosive to fuel system hoses and seals and is more prone to crystallisation, blocking injectors and fuel filters. Assuming you poured AdBlue into your fuel tank drain it at once. And certainly never crank the car - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. In case you have started the car you will probably have to have the complete fuel system flushed and fuel filters changed out.
