Why AdBlue in the fuel tank is urgent
AdBlue is a urea solution made for the exhaust, not the engine. It doesn’t burn, and it attacks the metal parts of the fuel system: the pump, the lines and the injectors.
As it dries it forms crystals that can block filters and lines. The sooner the tank is drained and flushed, the less there is to replace.
Signs it has reached the engine
- Rough running or loss of power
- Warning lights on the dashboard
- The engine cutting out
How we get the AdBlue out
Usually 30 to 40 minutes once we’re with you.
Extract
The tank is emptied with spark-free suction equipment.
Flush the tank
The tank and lines are flushed to remove AdBlue before it crystallises.
Refuel and prime
Fresh diesel goes in and the system is primed.
Dispose
The contaminated fuel is taken away and disposed of to Environment Agency rules.
