No problem with putting Diesel in your Ad Blue tank, if fact it makes the truck go faster as spraying fuel into the Exhaust system acts in a similar way to Afterburners on a Jet fighter. At least that’s what my mate told me
works best if you have side pipes. if you have stacks it will give you more traction 
One of our Polish drivers thought that AdBlue was screen wash and filled hish washer bottle up with it. The workshop foreman did his nut.
got to say i’ve heard some real horror stories coming from the workshops even a couple regarding our own trucks , some are fitted with detergent wheel sprayers from the foot & mouth days & bio security stuff , so some ad-blu tanks have been filled with detergent, some have been filled with screen wash & some with hydraulic oil , nobody at out yard can work it out , surely the drivers know what what with their lorries ? we only have one ad-blu truck at out depot & the drivers have had no problem putting diesel in the fuel tank & ad-blu in the ad-blu tank seems simple enough.
although i have had experience with ad-blu difficulties , i’d picked up a hire unit full with fuel & ad-blu & got my trailer & went on my way after a few hours ,top side of glousoscestersestershire it felt like a turbo had blown , or no air getting to the engine it was flat slugish & no power at all i managed to get it to DAF & they tested the ad-blu tank to find someone had indeed filled it with water i cant say what the result was but DAF wern’t happy people i got another unit to come home with
Leaving aside the deliberate acts of sabotage/vandalism, the basic reason for this is a lack of training by the employer. Drivers are expected to keep up with the law, tachos, WTD etc., an employer must be held responsible for training staff in the use of new technology, be it air suspension, autoboxes and …adblue. OK, some of us are interested enough to keep up with technology but to others it’s just a job. When I transferred onto AStronic autoboxes all I was told was,“Turn the knob this way for forward, that way for reverse and press the gas pedal down”. Well, sorry boss but there’s a lot more to driving an auto than that. All the handbooks had been taken out of the cabs, it took a few days googling to get up to speed. Same with Opticruise, 'tho I had a drive round the yard for that.
A printed sheet appeared in the Adblue vehicles which quickly disappeared leaving new drivers with nowt to read.
Bosses, it’s your fault!

You make a good point about information for drivers, I cannot understand why when a company gets a new truck worth many thousands of pounds they don’t give the drivers a bit of training, it’s not teaching them how to drive, but how to get the best from a new truck. We had a Volvo training guy spend helf a day with us when we got our new truck very useful and it was free (Ok included in the price) but not more money.
but then there are some drivers who already know everything 
so don’t listen or read any instructions, they are probably the ones that don’t ask about the new tank on the truck and just stick in what they think should go into it or what thier mate told them to do.

have to agree with all of the above, when i was on the milk ,new volvos turned up but no volvo rep, although the companys instructor driver was sent on a course at volvo he was brilliant , he said the basic rule was easy , just put gear lever into A & put yer foot down to go forwardd & into R to go backwards 
glad to see the week long course wasn’t a complete waste of time
maybe a special coupling filler would be a better way of refilling ad-blu instead of just instead of a smaller hole with a flap on it
I dont see how you can put adblue in the diesel tank because the ad blue pumps i have used all have magnets in them that dont activate until they are positioned coreectly in the adblue tank, and the magnets meet up and let it flow

To be honest, I thought that it was a diesel additive initially.Not ever having dealt with this stuff, and if it isn’t an additive…
…what is it■■?
■■■■, basically. With a few chemicals thrown in.
So now when you’re busting for a Jimmy and the truck park is full and you don’t want to leave the truck alone in the coach bays in case you get clamped, then the Ad-Blu tank is a god send.
in my job ,having a ■■■■ up your offside rear wheel is still legal in a taxi,shoud keep the old dears amused in the high street for 2 mins.
goes back to the days of horse & cart,cant leave unattened,never been updated this one.
