Yes it does an awesome job. AdBlue is highly corrosive and in most cases everything it touches needs to be replaced. If the vehicle it is in is run until the engine stops then the whole fuel system needs to be replaced, sometimes the engine will need to be either rebuilt or replaced. Usually can get away with a fuel tank flush as they are now plastic. a $10k repair is not uncommon.

Happened to us a couple of years ago.
We put a game camera up in the tree nxt to the tank.

They came back, we got some excellant photos, which were put in the local paper.

Perps were recognized and arrested within a week

In our case it turned out they were selling the fuel so an additive would have just stuffed someone else's gear.

If you're buying fuel off some bottom dweller with a heap of old drench containers full on the back of their ute you probably deserve to have your gear fucked also

I agree. Creating a demand.

I agree too but it was still satisfying to catch the pricks

Additive can be a good idea but remember when your gear is parked up overnight the favor could be returned in retaliation.

Really drives home the importance of labeling containers, haven't had a proper stuff up yet but I've found all sorts of shit in all sorts of containers in farm workshops. Had a guy ring me because he had run side by side out of fuel so I grabbed a 20l fuel container from workshop that was half full and made my way to where he was, opened fuel container to put the nozzle on and straight away smelt it was straight chlorine! If it was the Nepalese guys without me around they would have just put it in the side by side without a second thought

Reminds me of a few years ago trying to be helpful to the front neighbour - was using left over weed & feed spray on their front lawn during summer while they were away. About 7-10 days later the lawn died off - a month later turned into a dust bowl. Looked in my garage and saw an empty Round Up spray container and a 1/4 full weed& feed container. Bugger... work mates did a few drive by's when I told them the story & took pics to give me a hard time. Son then told his mates what I did and well........

When I lived down the coast the local farmers who got sick of the night time mystery shoppers
used to put the petrol sign on the diesel tank and diesel sign on the petrol tank.
Often the local mechanics would get a breakdown call out and after towing the vehicle in
would do a ring around and the local farmers will go down and have a meet and greet with said mystery shoppers.
West Coast justice.

We got contractors in to lay about 70m2 exposed aggregate patio at our previous house. After the pour they sprayed it with the wrong stuff and couldn't properly expose the aggregate. The crew boss admitted he had changed the brand of chemical and not told the crew it was supplied in a different colour container. Net result was a few days later there was a mini digger breaking up the new patio, dump it all, relay new patio. They lost a lot of $ on that stuff up! (FYI they first offered to do a stamped finish on top of the first pad but I rejected that as we had exposed aggregate driveway, other areas, etc)
