Adblue query? At the pumps a bit of Adblue was put into one of our vehicles, a Sprinter, in the diesel tank when filling up, 1 litre or less I believe, it was then filled up with diesel,running ok since.Half tank left.Should we fill up again with more miles premium?

I will have it filled with premium diesel fuel this morning ,hopefully it will burn through the engine and be eliminated from the fuel. Thanks for the interest.

Sprinter engine showing no signs of distress since Adblue was mistakenly put in the tank, about a litre approx,went through half tank after,refilled with premium diesel then,about to refill from half full again for second time. Hopefully it has cleared.

Every maker of diesel fuel additive will say theirs is the best,we are probably safer with the premium fuel experts.

All is fine so far,the engine showed no signs of distress,we have refilled from half full with premium diesel on two occasions since the litre of adblue was mistakenly put in the tank.

Update! Adblue in the diesel tank error,approximately 1 litre, refilled the Mercedes Sprinter tank again from half full with premium diesel fuel,seems to have burned through the toxic mix.
Extra attention by everyone at the pumps from now on necessary.
Thanks to everyone who responded.
