AdBlue Contamination

All around Surrey we are discovering a growing number of examples of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has put AdBlue inside their diesel fuel tank. This is to some extent as a consequence of motorists not being totally sure the right way to work with it (take note: it is in fact not a fuel additive), and in part simply because the filler necks for diesel and AdBlue are often right close to each other on the automobile.

Well, precisely what is the problem with putting AdBlue in the diesel car?

Since AdBlue is predominantly deionised water, it's like pouring water in to your tank. Diesel and water will not blend at all and trying to run a diesel car on water does not work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to fuel system pipes and seals and is prone to crystalising, blocking injectors and fuel filters. If you find you have put AdBlue into a fuel tank get it drained at the earliest opportunity. And certainly do not switch on the vehicle - not even to shift it off of the pump. Assuming you did start the vehicle you would likely have to have the complete fuel system flushed and filters changed.

If perhaps you end up in this predicament do not panic! Contact us, the UK’s Number 1 fuel contamination business. Our engineers have got the specialised skills and experience to get you back on your way rapidly and efficiently, without mess or fuss.

• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
