## Petrol in the AdBlue tank
Short answerPetrol in AdBlue tank — petrol in the AdBlue tank contaminates the SCR dosing circuit and is the serious direction. Do not start the engine — the dosing pump may prime and carry petrol into the heated lines and injector.

Petrol is a worse contaminant than diesel here because it is more aggressive to the seals and it flashes off, leaving residue behind in a circuit designed to stay wet with a specific aqueous solution. The assessment is done on site before any decision about what can be saved.
