    Hello,
    I mistakenly poured about 5 liters of plain water into the AdBlue tank, then filled it up with AdBlue. So I guess about 1/3 is plain water and 2/3 AdBlue. The question is whether something can be damaged or the car will burn out a lower concentration of urea?

    I wonder if I should try to drain all the AdBlue and refill it?

    I would like to add that Ford from 2018, 2.0 130 hp.

    AdBlue is the trade name of an aqueous urea solution - in all products under this name, the proportions of this solution are identical, i.e. about 32.5 percent. urea and about 67.5 percent. demineralized water. By adding water, you just changed the urea concentration. In this case, quite a lot. If possible, it is a good idea to remove some of the solution from the tank and add some clean agent. Much more important is what water got inside. Hope demineralized?

    From this amount, nothing should happen, they pour only (distilled) water into the trucks, instead of Ad blue and they drive ;-)

    Nothing will happen.
    At low temperatures, due to crystallization, the concentration drops spontaneously and there is no problem ...

    I poured about 5 liters of tap water purge :(
    In the AdBlue canister, I forgot that I poured water in earlier. Hence I was wrong :(
    And is it possible to buy only urea to add a little more?

    generally the car starts and drives - I drove 50 km before I remembered that there was no adblue in this bubble, but pure water.

    Rather, urea is a solid (pure).
    It will not dissolve effectively, it will not mix with water ...
    Just burn what you have and that's it.
    The nozzles (I think it is solved somehow) will not be able to clog from the tap. The next time the urea solution will clean them.
    Moderated By robokop:

    Urea dissolves perfectly in water, and urea itself clogs the nozzles more quickly than water. I propose to do something more useful than writing idiocy with your finger.

    At 99%, it crashes during operation, the error related to the AdBLue system.
    The system is so smart that it can recognize the quality of the fluid (urea concentration).
    Each AdBlue tank has a drain plug on the bottom of the tank.
    Drain and pour correct.

    Nothing bad happened, I didn't flush adblue or anything, burned everything out. There was also no mistake.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around a user who accidentally mixed approximately 5 liters of tap water with AdBlue in their Ford vehicle's AdBlue tank, resulting in a solution with a lower urea concentration. Responses indicate that while the dilution may affect the urea concentration, it is unlikely to cause immediate damage to the vehicle. Some users suggest that the vehicle's system can adapt to lower concentrations, and in some cases, trucks operate with similar mixtures without issues. However, it is recommended to drain the tank and refill it with the correct AdBlue solution to avoid potential errors related to the AdBlue system. The user confirmed that the vehicle continued to operate normally after the incident.
