Anyway there was Biglorryblog, amiably chatting to a fleet engineer from a major truck rental company (begins with an 'F') and he mentioned the problems of people putting diesel in the AdBlue tanks. "You can't do it!" piped up another operator who was listening in to the conversation, before adding: "You can't get the diesel pump spout into the AdBlue tank filler neck--they're different sizes." My thoughts exactly....but my rental friend calmly came back with a sobering response..."You don't have to. You only need to stick the nozzle into the hole pull the trigger and the splash-back from the gun as the cut-out works still goes into the tank and it's enough to ruin the AdBlue..." Well I have to admit that was a new one on me
This is a point in case that shows just how sensitive the adblue solution is.

AdBlue Contamination
All European truck manufacturers currently offer SCR equipped models, and the future Euro6 emission standard is set to reinforce the demand for this technology. SCR systems are sensitive to potential chemical impurities in the urea solution, therefore, it is essential to maintain high standards of AdBlue quality according to the ISO 22241 standard.
The use of SCR technology in Europe made it necessary to develop an AdBlue supply infrastructure. AdBlue is available from thousands of service stations, this locator finder is updated monthly with new Retail sites selling AdBlue. It can also be purchased in canisters of 5 or 10 litres at service stations. Larger quantities of AdBlue can be delivered in, for example, 208 litres (46 imp gal; 55 US gal) drums, 1,000 litres (220 imp gal; 260 US gal) Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), and bulk.
