Find Your Situation Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue was put in? This one question settles almost everything about what comes next. Over in Camserney or right around Aberfeldy, an unstarted motor must stay that way. Switch nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush after a drain, carried out just where your car stands around Aberfeldy. Already started? Stop once safe, then switch everything off. Stage one remains the same, even though the job grows. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever across Perth and Kinross it happened. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Aberfeldy forecourt You are at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Be it Asda Express, another forecourt nearby or anywhere else around Aberfeldy, the case is identical. Put simply: no better place exists to discover it. Only that tank holds AdBlue; no component beyond it has drawn it in. Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to run it — and so don't get back in. A few jobs: a shove into a space with the staff helping, the receipt kept, and a call to us from the forecourt. Can't move the car beside the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof equipment makes a live forecourt safe, so we can drain the vehicle where it is. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Aberfeldy drive? The warning light had been on for days. A bottle bought at the garage, tipped in on the driveway — and it's just by the bin that the cap got a second look. Just off Bank Street is not different from any other place. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of that tank and remains there, however long the night. Your move: keys indoors, so nobody drives your car anywhere at breakfast. Then, ring. Weem or Aberfeldy: wherever your drive is, that is where it is emptied. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Aberfeldy? Filled up, drove away, and before long your engine was running unevenly, blowing smoke, losing power, or flashing up your dash. Possibly it was on Crieff Road, perhaps on the way out towards Perth, under 25 miles away. What it means: the fuel system has drawn the AdBlue in. Past the fuel filter, along the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the high-pressure pump and each injector. More miles, more starts: deeper it goes. What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so and switch off. Service stations further along are too far: from the M90, under 25 miles out of Aberfeldy, take the first junction. Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Let us hear the mileage driven as you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car You have had this car hardly a week. Unknown to you, the two fillers sit side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or keeps it in another spot. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Perth and Kinross. The upshot: just as above, split by if it ran, only with one added step. Any work on your car often requires the owner's go-ahead under rental or fleet agreements. Next: phone the rental company or the fleet manager first, and then us — settling it before we arrive is quicker. Stuck near The Watermill or outside Pitlochry till someone replies, your car remains turned off throughout. ## Aberfeldy: unsure whether it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? "I think so" is often as honest answer there is. A slight ammonia-like whiff lingers near your filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at the local primary school, or on a friend's drive in Edradynate. What it means: a little spilled round the filler does no damage to the motor. A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story. Any AdBlue in that tank will be pulled in by turning on the car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't start it. Call us and explain what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run. ## Aberfeldy: what every AdBlue drain has in common Whatever the case, a single opening applies. Three questions are asked once we arrive — on a forecourt, a drive, a street beside Aberfeldy Town Hall or the car park outside The Black Watch Inn: the liquid, the quantity, and if it has run. Answers set the work; the quote follows by phone whilst nobody has set off yet. AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals in fuel systems, and so it does not wash out unaided; that's why the flush, after this drain, counts far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Fresh diesel is put in after your filter has been cleaned or replaced, and the car is finally tested. Most unrun cars are a half-hour visit after the moment our engineers get there. Our technicians start the engine last. Our technicians check it runs smoothly on new diesel before we go. The whole job is done where the car is, and when it is caught quickly, long-term damage is very rare. Nothing is taken upfront, payment happens on the day, and you receive what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling, and so look at yours while the van travels. ## About Aberfeldy itself Aberfeldy is a town situated on the River Tay in Perth and Kinross, with a population of around 1894 people.
