What happens if you put adblue in diesel
If you accidentally put AdBlue (a urea-based solution designed for reducing NOx emissions in diesel engines) into a diesel fuel tank, it can cause significant damage to your vehicle's engine and fuel system.
-
Engine and Fuel System Damage: AdBlue is not a fuel and is not designed to be burned in the engine. If it gets mixed with diesel, it can damage components like the fuel injectors, fuel pump, and other parts of the fuel system. It can also cause clogging or corrosion.
-
Poor Engine Performance: The engine will likely misfire or run poorly if AdBlue is present in the fuel. It may lead to starting issues or the engine stalling because the diesel engine will try to burn the AdBlue, which doesn't have the proper combustion properties.
-
Repair Costs: Depending on the amount of AdBlue in the fuel tank, you may need to drain the entire fuel system, clean or replace components, and refill the tank with proper diesel fuel. This can be an expensive repair, especially if damage to the engine or fuel system occurs.
