# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Aireworth

One thing matters most once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is if your motor has been started afterwards.

Not started yet? Then keep the vehicle that way, whether your vehicle sits — Aireworth or Eastwood.

Leave your motor and the ignition off and call 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Aireworth.

If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off.

It is a larger job, though stage one does not change.

Anywhere in West Yorkshire it took place, one of the cases below fits yours.

## On a Aireworth forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

You're at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one.

Possibly you are at the Shell, maybe at the Texaco, possibly somewhere else in Aireworth.

The point: of every spot to find out, this is the best.

Just your tank has AdBlue; no component past it has drawn it in.

Your move: stay out of the car, however much the pump needs freeing.

Ask the staff to help you push your car into a parking spot, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt.

Draining it right at the pump is fine when it can't be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Aireworth

For days the dashboard had been warning you.

Only by the recycling, the empty container in hand, did you look back at the cap you'd opened at the driveway.

It happens on driveways just off Craven Road as frequently as anywhere.

Meaning? Provided the car hasn't been driven since, it is close to the pump case.

On the bottom of that tank sits where AdBlue waits, because it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference.

What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the car in the morning. Then ring.

Worth Village or Aireworth: wherever your driveway sits, that is where it gets emptied.

Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a residential street.

## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel in Aireworth?

Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard arrived a mile or two after the fill.

Maybe it was on Beecher Street, maybe on the way out towards Bradford, under 10 miles away.

What it means: your fuel system has pulled the AdBlue in.

It has been through the filter and your lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and the injectors.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Do this: stop anywhere safe, then turn the motor off.

Leave by the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M606, under 10 miles from Aireworth.

Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have.

About how far had it gone? Say so as you phone.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

You've had the car hardly a week.

The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel filler, which you did not know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

Anyone, wherever in West Yorkshire, could make it.

In short: an extra step on top of the situations above, and those turn on if it has run.

Many rental and fleet contracts need the owner's approval before repairs.

Your move: hire firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, since sorting it early cuts time.

If you're stranded in the car park at Keighley, or by The Leisure Centre, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.

## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank around Aireworth?

Sometimes the honest answer is "I think so".

What cap was taken off, you cannot recall; meanwhile the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and ammonia lingers by the filler.

The gates of Eastwood Community School in a hurry, perhaps, or someone's drive over in Lawkholme.

The point: your engine isn't hurt by a little AdBlue spilled on the outside.

AdBlue inside your diesel tank does.

If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up the car would suck it in, and it would not tell you which either.

Do this: act as if it did, and never start your engine.

Ring us and explain what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.

## Aireworth: what each AdBlue drain has in common

Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way.

Three questions are asked when our engineers reach the car — on a filling station, a driveway, a street by Marley Activities and Coaching Centre or the car park outside Shoulder of Mutton: the fluid, the amount, and whether it has been started.

Your price comes on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and the replies shape the job.

A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it is essential, since crystals form and certain metals are attacked, and neither washes away unaided.

Finally come the fuel filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; fresh diesel; and a test of your car.

If the engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.

The last step is starting the car.

Our test that it runs properly on fresh diesel comes before we leave.

Our engineers do the entire job where your car is, and permanent damage is very unusual if it has been caught early.

Payment comes on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer.

Plenty of policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels.
