AdBlue In Your Diesel

In Staffordshire we have discovered more and more instances of AdBlue contamination whereby someone has poured AdBlue into their diesel tank. This is mostly as a consequence of motorists not understanding the way to use it (be aware: it's not a fuel additive), and partially because the filler caps for diesel and AdBlue are generally directly next to one another on the car.

So, what exactly is the issue with having AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Seeing as the product is mainly deionised water, it is actually almost the same as putting water in to your tank. Diesel and water tend not to mix in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water isn't going to work. Apart from this, the urea is very corrosive to the fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters. If you put AdBlue into the fuel tank get it out right away. And obviously do not start up the vehicle - not even to maneuver it off of the pump. If perhaps you did start the vehicle you will almost certainly have to have the whole fuel system flushed and filters replaced.

Phone us if you have suffered from AdBlue contamination. We can help. We are Specialists in dealing with contaminated fuel and can easily correct all kinds of AdBlue contamination.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to dawn and noone was around. It had become pretty quiet until now, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment in Staffordshire. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The voice on the phone told me: "I have finished my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the creamy white Isuzu i-Series". I told him to let us know where exactly he was located and we left, getting to him in Foxt no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we saw two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.
