As per:

17 litre car tank.
500ml/45 litres x17 = 189ml.
As I've already treated my new bottle of Adblue, this will be a flight overdose of the stuff, but am sure it'll be fine

Yep, think that's just what's happened in that long spout jug over that last (guess) 3-6 months since last used. The residual dregs have dried out and grown an impressive crystal formation.Ablue is mostly water so clear but if the water evaporates it leaves white crystals.
Good plan, will doA search suggests eolys is less dense than water at 0.89 so might float on top and being a hydrocarbon is not likely to be water soluble. If you have a narrow tube you can insert, suck a bit out from the bottom of the tank and separately a bit from the top and see if there is a difference.
Yep, definitely a task that one!A 17 litre adblue tank contaminated with eolys could take some emptying and cleaning.
No, no issues. I don't use a phone to access the forum though. I do lose the broadband connection a few times a day but have a backup gizmo that connects the router to 4G, when it works. That often has a red 'not connected to 4G' light on it lately.Huskyxantia wrote: Yesterday, 19:45 Anyone else having issues with the site 3 times now ive been kicked out and had to re log back in
Yep, that's do, though'd compromise flavours come next Sunday lunchtime
) of Adblue went in. At this point I guess I'm hoping a litre of eolys on top of 16 litres of Adblue, rather than mostly Eolys!! Yes, agree on both thoughts!PaulC5 wrote: Yesterday, 20:44 Hope this is not a sign of the previous owner not knowing what they were doing when looking after the car. It also possibly means the eoyls tank is empty and a low level warning was diagnosed out after putting it in the adblue tank
Au contrare, I've been wrestling with the garden hosereel which SWMBO keeps having the feed hose pop off the reel inlet. I have loads of hose connectors of all sorts but nothing that fits that reel inlet which has very worn shoulders so not gripping connector properly. In the end I settled for ordering a new reel complete tonight which is due on Tuesday!! Maybe write something in the DIY thread then!!Rp0thejester wrote: Yesterday, 22:04 Mick has been rather quiet tonight, maybe he's on a kicking session because he's got nothing else to build or repair.....
Yep, very frothy!CitroJim wrote: Today, 05:46 That Adblue looks a bit worrying Matt. It should be clear even if a little overdosed with Wynns CC. In my experience an overdose just make it foam up like a rabid bear...
All over the boot floor little flat crystals. Spare tyre has white marks. Will all come out for a wash / wipe down shortly.Those crystal growth are impressive. No worries if they are outside the tank... My van had a few impressive ones in the filler area when I fist got the car
AgreedDefinitely empty the tank and refill...
Yes, I remember mention on here of that happening to a lorry and tens of thousands of damage done!Tipping a can of Adblue into the fuel filler would not end well I fear!
