AdBlue In Your Diesel

Throughout Tyne and Wear we are discovering more and more occurrences of AdBlue contamination where a person has poured AdBlue straight into their diesel tank. This is in part due to people not knowing the right way to to make use of (important: it's not a fuel additive), and in part because the inlets for diesel and AdBlue are often right near to each other on the automobile.

Now, precisely what is the matter with having AdBlue in the diesel tank? Because AdBlue is primarily ionised water, it is as bad as putting water in your tank. Diesel and water don't blend in the least and attempting to run a diesel car on water will not work. Also, the urea is particularly corrosive to fuel system lines and seals and is susceptible to crystallisation, obstructing injectors and filters.

If you find you put AdBlue in the fuel tank remove it immediately. And absolutely do not start the car - not even to relocate it off of the pump. In cases where you did start the vehicle you will in all probability need to have the entire fuel system purged and filters changed out.

Water contaminated fuel

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines. Water inside your fuel is likely to bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.
