AdBlue is NOT a fuel additive and should never be mixed into your fuel tank – petrol or diesel. It needs to go into its own separate filler (usually with a blue filler cap). If you’ve mistakenly put AdBlue into the fuel tank it’s important to get it removed it quickly, or engine serious damage can occur. It’s not an easy DIY job, but our mobile units can get to you quickly and fix the problem.
