--- title: What Now? AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Aller Park canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/aller-park-devon/ location: Aller Park county: Devon latitude: 50.520690 longitude: -3.580960 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-19 --- # Aller Park: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation Everything turns on one fact: whether your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is around Aller Park itself or out in Buckland. Ring 0333 366 0103 with your key and engine still off. In Aller Park, such a case is typically emptied and cleaned where it stands. Already started? Pull over once you safely can, then switch everything off. The job is bigger, but the first step is the same. Match what happened to a situation from the ones below, wherever across Devon you happen to be. ## Aller Park forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the filler you took off was not the correct one. Be it Sainsbury's, Harvest Energy or anywhere else around Aller Park, the case is identical. Meaning? Finding out here is the best it can be. No pump has drawn it in, so the AdBlue stays just inside that tank. Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to start it — so don't get back in. Ask the staff to help you push your car into a parking bay, keep your receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that can't be pushed away gets cleared where it is at the pump. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Aller Park The warning light had been on for days. Only by the recycling, the empty container in hand, did you look back at the cap you'd opened at the driveway. Just off Twickenham Road is not different from any other place. The upshot: no miles since leaves it almost equal to finding it at the petrol pump. Being reluctant to mix, AdBlue settles low in that tank and stays. One night standing changes none of that. Next: prevent any early-morning move by putting the keys indoors, then ring us. Newtake or Aller Park: wherever your drive is, that's where it gets drained. The equipment runs quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel in Aller Park? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Maybe it was on Aller Brake Road, perhaps on the way out towards Exeter, under 15 miles away. What it means: your fuel system has drawn the AdBlue in. Past your filter, along the pipework, and — the more the distance — deeper into the injection pump and every injector. Each restart, like each mile, pushes it on. Do this: pull up anywhere sensible, then turn the engine off. Aller Park lies under 15 miles from the M5; there, pull off at the first junction rather than pushing on for the services. No trial restarts: clearing is not something AdBlue does. Phone, saying what distance your vehicle went. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car Seven days back, the car was unknown to you. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers are next to each other here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere. Anywhere you happen to be across Devon, every motorist can slip up. The upshot: just as above, divided by whether it ran, only with an added stage. Plenty of hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the vehicle. Settling it before the van arrives is faster, and so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Leave it off while the answer arrives, whether you're parked outside Newton Abbot or near Milbur Hillfort. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Aller Park "I think so" is often as honest answer there is. 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. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Haytor View Community Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Haccombe. Put simply: a spill round the filler does the motor unharmed. A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different matter. Any AdBlue in your tank will be sucked in by starting your car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it went in. Don't start the vehicle. Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than emptying one after it's been run — so ring then describe to us what you saw. ## The common ground in every Aller Park AdBlue drain Every situation gets the same opening to the job. Three questions are asked when we reach your car — at a filling station, a drive, a street by St Lukes or the car park at The Keyberry: the fluid, the quantity, and whether the motor has run. Replies shape the job; the quote comes by phone while nobody has set off yet. Draining the tank comes next, then a full flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not go on their own, however long it sits. Then comes the fuel filter — cleaned, or swapped where necessary — followed by fresh diesel, and a test of your vehicle. If your motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Our engineers start it last. We check it runs properly on clean diesel before we go. Long-term damage is very uncommon when it is spotted soon, and the entire job is done where the car is. Paying is on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a report from the engineer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Aller Park itself Aller Park is a suburban area in Devon, situated inland at an elevation of 71 metres, approximately 14 miles from Exeter.
