⚠️ Don't start the engine

AdBlue in the diesel tank: what now?

AdBlue has its own separate filler, but it's easy to confuse under pressure. If it's gone in the fuel tank, don't run the engine.

Why it matters

AdBlue is a urea solution — it's corrosive to the fuel system and must never pass through the engine. Running it risks damage to the pump, injectors and lines.

The fix

The tank and fuel system are drained and flushed on-site, clean diesel is added, and the car is test-started. Quick if caught early — don't turn the key.
