Find Your Situation Has the motor turned over since the AdBlue went in? This one point settles almost everything about what comes next. Anywhere the car is — Dore, Abbeydale Park — never run an engine that has not run yet. Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, then count on a proper flush after a drain, done right where the vehicle sits around Abbeydale Park. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. It's a larger job, yet stage one doesn't change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around South Yorkshire it happened. ## On a Abbeydale Park forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the bottle, you realise the cap you took off wasn't the right one. It could be the Esso, or the JET, or a different station in Abbeydale Park. The point: of every spot to find out, the forecourt is the best. Still in your tank, with nothing pulled through: that is where the AdBlue sits. What to do: don't get back in and start the vehicle to clear the pump. Ask the attendants to help you push your car into a parking bay, keep the till receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt. If it cannot be shifted, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Abbeydale Park On your dash, a warning had shown all week. Only at the recycling bin, the empty bottle in your hand, did you look back at the cap you had used on the drive. Right off Brinkburn Vale Road is no different from any other place. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. Being unable to blend, AdBlue drops to the base inside your tank and stays. One night standing alters none of that. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then call. Totley Rise or Abbeydale Park: wherever your driveway sits, that's where it is emptied. The pumping kit works quietly enough not to disturb the street at night. ## Abbeydale Park: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? A mile or two beyond filling up, your engine started misbehaving: roughness, smoke, lost power, warnings on the dash. Anywhere along Chatsworth Road or else heading towards Sheffield — under 5 miles away. The upshot: the system has pulled AdBlue through already. It's been through the fuel filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors. It goes further with every extra mile covered and every restart. What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. Leave at the next junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M1, under 10 miles from Abbeydale Park. Restarting it to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. About what distance did it go? Say so as you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company motors A week ago, the car was new to you. Your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, and so nothing warned you the AdBlue cap was just next to the diesel. Across South Yorkshire, no one is immune. Put simply: an extra step on top of the situations above, which depend on if it's run. Any work on the car often requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or company agreements. Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us second, because settling it beforehand saves time. Keep it off as the answer comes, whether you're parked outside Dore & Totley or near Abbeydale Sports Club. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Abbeydale Park Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. A hurried top-up by the gates of Dore Primary School, or a call to a friend in New Totley: both fit. Meaning? Drips outside the filler don't reach your motor at all. Inside your diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it. Any AdBlue in that tank would be pulled in by starting the car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. Take it that it was put in, and don't turn the key. Describe what you saw on the phone. A clear tank checked counts as a happier outcome than a run one emptied. ## The common ground in each Abbeydale Park AdBlue drain Whatever the case, one start applies. Our engineers come to the vehicle, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at Tunnel Tap or a side street near Totley Rise Methodist Church, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and whether your engine has been run. The price is given on the call, before a van leaves, and those replies set the job. AdBlue forms crystals and eats at certain metals in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out unaided; that is why the flush, after the drain, matters far more here than with petrol. Clean diesel goes in after the filter has been flushed or replaced, and your car is finally checked. Where the engine has not run, allow about half an hour on site, in most jobs. Starting the engine comes last. Our check that it runs correctly on fresh diesel comes before our engineers leave. The whole job is done where the vehicle is, and if it is caught quickly, lasting damage is very unusual. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Dig out your insurance before we're en route: cover for misfuelling is included in plenty of policies. ## About Abbeydale Park and where it is Abbeydale Park is a suburban area situated on the outskirts of Sheffield, near the River Sheaf in South Yorkshire.
