Poured Screenwash directly into your AdBlue Tank?
Take Action Now.
Due to the close proximity of filler caps under the bonnet or fuel flap on modern vehicles, putting screenwash into the AdBlue tank is a common mistake made by drivers today. If this has happened to you, keep your keys completely away from the ignition. Misfuelled Car Fixer provides specialized, 24/7 mobile AdBlue tank draining, siphoning, and chemical decontamination services. Our nationwide network of emergency response vans can reach you within 45 to 60 minutes to thoroughly decontaminate your SCR AdBlue system, clean out the tank, and protect your vehicle from massive damage.
Screenwash in AdBlue Tank Removal & Decontamination
Unlike mixing petrol and diesel, pouring screenwash into an AdBlue tank directly compromises your Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system. Screenwash contains soaps, alcohol, and detergents that severely contaminate the pure urea solution needed by your vehicle. The moment you turn on the ignition, your AdBlue dosing pump activates, drawing contaminated fluid straight into the heater module, injector, and expensive SCR catalyst.
This contamination will: Clog and destroy high-precision SCR dosing injectors. Contaminate and ruin delicate internal AdBlue tank level/temperature sensors. Form gummy deposits that cause total SCR system failure. Trigger restrictive limp-mode lockdowns and result in costly main-dealer component replacements.
Good News: If you have kept the ignition turned completely OFF, the screenwash is safely isolated inside your AdBlue tank. A specialized mobile siphon and flushing process will completely restore your system with zero lingering risk.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: I accidentally put screenwash in my AdBlue tank but haven't started the engine. Is my car ruined?
A: No, your vehicle is safe! As long as you have not switched on the ignition, the screenwash is sitting harmlessly inside the AdBlue reservoir and has not been pumped into the SCR dosing system. Do not turn the key. Call us immediately, and we will extract the contaminated fluid, flush the tank on-site, and safeguard your system.
Q: Do you provide mobile AdBlue tank drains on the motorway or dual carriageways?
A: No, we do not service vehicles on motorways or dual carriageways. Due to high-speed traffic risks and strict roadside safety regulations, we cannot dispatch our technicians to these high-speed networks. If your vehicle is safely parked on a petrol station forecourt, a local road, a street, your workplace, or your home driveway, we can deploy a unit to you immediately.
Q: Can I just dilute the screenwash by topping off the AdBlue tank?
A: Absolutely not. Even small amounts of detergent and alcohol from screenwash ruin the precise 32.5% urea concentration required by your emissions system and will permanently damage the delicate catalyst sensor array. The entire tank must be drained and flushed clean before refilling with fresh AdBlue.
What happens when you put screenwash in an AdBlue tank?
Putting screenwash in your AdBlue tank can trigger immediate engine management warnings and send your vehicle into a non-start or limp mode after driving just a short distance. Don't start your engine if you've made this mistake—call our expert team for instant advice and a fixed quote.
What is the purpose of AdBlue in diesel cars?
AdBlue is an exhaust fluid used in modern diesel vehicles equipped with SCR technology to reduce harmful nitrogen oxide emissions. It is a precise solution of pure urea and demineralized water. Because screenwash contains harsh cleaning agents and alcohols, mixing it into the AdBlue tank corrupts this balance, making immediate professional extraction necessary.
