AdBlue in diesel fuel tank by mistake in Ipswich

Get back on road with us in no time.

AdBlue, also known as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), is a solution used in diesel engines to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. It is not meant to be added directly to the diesel tank; instead, it is stored in a separate tank in the vehicle.

If you've mistakenly added AdBlue in diesel tank, which is a diesel exhaust fluid used in modern diesel vehicles equipped with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, it's essential to address the situation quickly to prevent damage to your vehicle. Here's what you should do:

  1. Do Not Start the Engine: Starting the engine with AdBlue in diesel tank can cause significant damage to your vehicle's fuel system and engine. If the engine is running, turn it off immediately.

  2. Call for Assistance: Contact us for AdBlue drain service in Ipswich as this is not a situation you can resolve on your own.

  3. Drain the Diesel Tank: The first step will be to drain the diesel tank to remove the AdBlue. This process will also involve cleaning the fuel lines and system.

  4. Inspect for Damage: We can inspect your vehicle for any potential damage caused by the presence of AdBlue, including the fuel system and engine. Repairs may be needed depending on the severity of the situation.

  5. Replace Fuel Filters: The fuel filters should be replaced to ensure no traces of AdBlue remain in the system.

  6. Flush the Fuel System: The fuel lines and injectors may need to be flushed to remove any remaining contaminated fuel.

  7. Refill with Diesel: Once the system is cleaned and checked, we will fill the tank with the correct diesel fuel.

  8. Test and Monitor: After these steps, your vehicle should be back to normal. Monitor it for a while to ensure there are no lingering issues.

The severity of the damage depends on factors such as the amount of AdBlue added, how quickly you acted, and the type of vehicle you have. Consulting a professional mechanic for a full assessment is advisable. Keep in mind that repairs can be expensive, so having the appropriate insurance coverage for such situations can be helpful.
