Why AdBlue in Diesel is a Problem
AdBlue is a urea-based solution designed for Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems to reduce harmful emissions. It is NOT a fuel. When AdBlue mixes with diesel in your tank, it can cause chemical reactions that lead to:
- Corroded fuel system components
- Blocked injectors
- Seized fuel pumps
- Engine failure
Even small amounts of AdBlue contamination can result in expensive repairs if the engine is started. DO NOT start your vehicle if you’ve added AdBlue to the diesel tank.
