AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Greenwich we are finding progressively more instances of AdBlue contamination when an individual has put AdBlue inside their diesel tank. This is partially a result of people not being totally sure the way to to make use of (please note: it is in actual fact not a fuel additive), and partly because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are usually directly close to each other on the vehicle.

Well, exactly what is the problem with having AdBlue in a diesel vehicle? Seeing as AdBlue is mostly ionised water, it is almost the same as pouring water into your tank. Diesel and water don't blend whatsoever and trying to run a diesel car on water is not going to work. Additionally, the urea is quite corrosive to your fuel system hoses and seals and is prone to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

Fuel contaminated with water

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines. Having water in the petrol or diesel may well trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.
