Adding the wrong fluid to your vehicle’s fuel tank can cause serious damage and stress. One common mistake is putting AdBlue into a diesel fuel tank. If this has happened to you or someone you know in areas like Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge, Norwich, Colchester, Harwich, Southend-on-Sea, Chelmsford, Birmingham, Stoke-on-Trent, Derby, Kettering, Northampton, or Bedford, this guide will help you understand what to do next and how to get help fast.
What Happens When You Put AdBlue in Fuel Tank by Mistake?
AdBlue is a urea-based solution designed for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems in diesel engines. It is stored in a separate tank and injected into the exhaust to reduce harmful emissions. When AdBlue enters the diesel fuel tank, it contaminates the fuel and can cause:
Engine damage due to improper combustion
Fuel system corrosion from the chemical properties of AdBlue
Clogged fuel filters and injectors
Costly repairs if not addressed quickly
The severity depends on how much AdBlue was added and whether the engine was started afterward.
Immediate Steps to Take If You’ve Added AdBlue by Mistake
If you realize you have put AdBlue in fuel tank by mistake, act quickly to reduce damage:
Do not start the engine. Starting the engine will circulate the contaminated fuel and increase damage.
Call a specialist immediately. Professional help is essential to drain and clean the fuel system properly. 07459 909935

Preventing AdBlue Mistakes in the Future
Avoiding this problem is better than fixing it. Here are some tips:

Double-check before filling. Take a moment to confirm the correct tank.
