AdBlue in Fuel Tank by Mistake? Stop!(Mixing AdBlue With Diesel)
If you have just put AdBlue in fuel tank by mistake, the most important thing you can do is NOT turn the ignition.
Putting AdBlue in your fuel tank is a common mistake, but it can be a costly one if handled incorrectly. Because AdBlue is not a lubricant—and is actually corrosive to many engine components—starting your car can pull the fluid into your fuel system, leading to thousands of pounds in damages.

🛑 The Emergency Checklist: Immediate Steps if AdBlue in Fuel Tank by Mistake
If you are at the pump right now, follow these steps in order:
-
Do Not Start the Engine: Do not even put the key in the ignition. Many modern cars begin priming the fuel pump as soon as the electronics engage.
-
Leave the Car in Neutral: If you need to move the vehicle away from the pump, get someone to help you push it.
-
Call a Professional: You need a fuel drain service. Your fuel tank must be emptied and flushed before the car can be driven.
-
Inform the Station Staff: They can help you move the car to a safe area and may have contact details for local recovery services.

Why is AdBlue so Dangerous for Diesel Engines?
While AdBlue is essential for reducing emissions when sprayed into the exhaust system, it is catastrophic inside the fuel system.
-
Corrosion: AdBlue is a urea-based solution. It is highly corrosive to pipework and components made of copper, brass, and steel.
-
Crystallization: If AdBlue reaches the fuel injectors, it can crystallize, blocking the tiny nozzles and requiring a total system replacement.
-
Lack of Lubrication: Diesel fuel acts as a lubricant for the high-pressure fuel pump. AdBlue does the opposite, causing metal-on-metal friction that creates "swarf" (metal shavings) that destroy the engine.
