In order to meet Emission Standards, diesel vehicles need to reduce their emissions down to a certain level depending upon the engine size. In response to this, exhaust technology has been introduced that uses a fluid known as AdBlue™ (DEF) to reduce the Nitrous Oxides present in emissions.
To help avoid confusion, a lot of vehicles have a blue fill cap for the AdBlue™ tank and black, red or green for diesel, and on many HGVs the AdBlue™ and diesel fill points are positioned quite far away from each other. However this isn’t fool proof and a driver mistakenly putting AdBlue into the diesel tank can have disastrous consequences.
If the unfortunate situation arises that a driver has added AdBlue in the diesel tank, this can cause costly damage. AdBlue™ is not compatible with many materials so it can corrode the pipework and components in the fuel system. This can cost thousands of pound worth of damage, not to mention the loss of use of the vehicle until a professional gas drained the tank, flushed out the system and carried out all repairs.
AdBlue™ is commonly mistaken as a fuel additive, when in fact it should not be mixed with diesel at all. Whereas diesel is for the running of the engine, AdBlue™ is designed for the SCR system in the vehicle exhaust and therefore is dispensed into a completely different tank to the diesel.
