jumpstart Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Although we do use our camper through winter , I was surprised to see that if the vehicle is not used for a period,ie in storage or just parked up that after a certain amount of time(unknown) the Adblue can crystallise and *uck up the sensors . Then the engine won’t start but your problems do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 AdBlue will certainly crystallise if the solution is allowed to dry, or if it’s accidentally put into a vehicle’s fuel tank from which it can then contaminatate a motor’s injectors, but I’m doubtful that crystallisation would be a real problem if the vehicle’s emissions-control system has been properly designed. This 2016 webpage https://www.cumminsfiltration.com/south-pacific/sites/cumminsfiltration-empty.bitnamiapp.com.south-pacific/files/LT36330AU-REV1%20Fleetguard%20AdBlue%20Q%26A.pdf carries a lot of useful and reliable information about AdBlue.

Brock Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Sorry, Derek, didn't think to record the sites. My internet preference wipes my surfing history on a daily basis so I did a quick search this morning rather than the previous trawl. These are four I picked up again this morning. I know Feathers from bygone years so it was the second site I visited and remembered, Iveco issues because my son is on his third AdBlue-Iveco and had one problem on his first Iveco - moisture got into the AdBlue and the van limped to the garage for a repair taking half an hour, and Merc by accident! Most of the others were related to cars. https://forums.outandaboutlive.co.uk/forums/Motorhomes/Motorhome-Matters/Peugeot-Boxer-Euro-6-NOx-Sensor/49486/ https://motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/2017-peugeot-boxer-engine-warning-lamp-on.171901/ http://www.feather-diesel.co.uk/adblue-and-fuel-injectors-dont-mix/ https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=1731850 http://www.mercedesmedic.com/mercedes-adblue-problems/ The other three Boxer related were found trawling through pages of adblue/injector problems and were just lucky strikes. I didn't realise how problematic AdBlue was [still needs to be kept in perspective]! As you mentioned, there are firms who make claims to get rid of these problems. These sites also give an indication of problems but I found nothing to suggest Boxer engines were exceptionally problematic. This is an interesting explanation of the Boxer AdBlue process: http://www.auto-sleepers.com/all-you-need-to-know-about-peugeot-euro-6-engines/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
