AdBlue in Diesel Tank

AdBlue in Diesel Tank? Solution is Wrong Fuel Fixer

So, you accidentally put AdBlue in your diesel tank? Don’t panic – Wrong Fuel Fixer is at your service.

As AdBlue is increasingly used in diesel vehicles, more drivers than ever are putting AdBlue in the diesel tank or carrying out a similar form of misfuelling. Whether just a splash or a full tank, take immediate action before serious damage can occur to your engine and fuel system.

What To Do If You Accidentally Add AdBlue To Diesel?

AdBlue is a urea-based fluid used to reduce emissions, not an additive to fuel. When added to the diesel tank, it acts like water in diesel, resulting in:

  • Fuel contamination
  • Spark plug or fuel injector corrosion
  • Crystallization that clogs filters and injectors
  • If engine is started, risk of complete engine failure

Don’t Start Your Engine

If you’ve accidentally poured AdBlue into your diesel tank, do not switch on the ignition. Running the engine circulates the contaminated fuel, potentially worsening the damage and the cost of repair.

Mistakenly pouring AdBlue into a diesel tank repair price

If they went ahead, repair charges depend on how much AdBlue was added, and whether the engine was turned over, but start at around £200 and can exceed £2,000. Early intervention prevents extensive damage and saves you money.

Vehicles That Use AdBlue

Most diesel cars sold since 2015 including BMW, Audi, Peugeot, Jaguar, Land Rover and Mercedes use AdBlue. To prevent mistakes, these cars often have a separate Ad Blue filler cap (usually blue in color).
