AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in America Moor, and What to Do Next
One fact matters above all once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if your motor has run since. Not run yet? Then leave the vehicle like that, whether the car sits — America Moor or Town End. Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush after a drain, done right where the vehicle stands in America Moor. Where the motor has run, stop somewhere safe straight away, then switch the car off. It's a larger job, yet stage one does not change.
Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever in West Yorkshire it happened.
On a America Moor forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the filler you opened was not the right one. It could be the Asda, or the Morrisons, or a different station in America Moor.
The point: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. Still inside your tank, with no fuel drawn through: that's where the AdBlue is.
Next: avoid the temptation to start it only to move away from the pump. Phone us from the forecourt once the vehicle sits in a space — the staff will lend a hand to push it — then keep the bottle. If it cannot be moved, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt.
AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in America Moor
Several days had gone by with the warning light on. A bottle bought at the shop, emptied in on the drive — and it's just at the bin that the cap got your eye. Homes just off Howley Park Road East are caught out as much as everywhere else.
What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of that tank and remains there, however long it waits.
Next: stop any early drive by keeping your keys indoors, then ring us. Out in Birks or right here around America Moor, the draining is done on your drive. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.
Set off with AdBlue in a diesel in America Moor?
A short way after topping up, the motor began playing up: roughness, smoke, lost power, lights on your dash. Anywhere on M62 or else on the road towards Leeds — under 10 miles away.
Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through the fuel system. It's been through the fuel filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the injectors. Every restart, like each mile, pushes it deeper.
What to do: pull over where it's safe and switch off. America Moor sits under a mile from the M62; on it, pull off at the first junction instead of pressing on to the services. Starting it again to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. Ring us and say how far you went.
Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank
A week back, the car was new to you. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Across West Yorkshire, no one is immune.
Meaning? Whichever applies above counts too — run or unrun — and one further stage. The owner frequently has to approve the work, under many hire and fleet agreements.
Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us next, because sorting it early saves time. Waiting for a reply at the car park at Morley, or beside St. Andrew's Church? Keep the engine off meanwhile.
America Moor: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?
Sometimes the honest answer is "I think so". A faint ammonia whiff lingers near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. Maybe on a friend's driveway in West Ardsley, or in a rush outside Fountain Primary School on the school run.
Meaning? Drips outside the inlet don't reach the motor at all. If it's inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. Any AdBlue in that tank would be pulled in by starting your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
Assume it went in, and don't start your key. Checking a tank that turns out clean is better than draining one after it's been run — so phone then tell us what you saw.
What each AdBlue drain in America Moor has in common
Each case gets the same opening to the work. Wherever your car stands — The Stump Cross's car park, a road by Morley Rugby Football Club, a driveway, a forecourt — our van arrives and we ask about the fluid, the quantity, plus if the engine has been run. Your price comes over the phone, before a van leaves, and the answers shape the work.
A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it's crucial, because crystals form and some metals are attacked, and neither rinses out unaided. The fuel filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Most unstarted cars are a half-hour job after the moment our technicians get there.
We fire it up at the end. Our engineers check it runs properly on fresh diesel before we leave. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very rare if it has been caught soon. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you get what your insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Many insurance policies include misfuelling, so check yours as we head over.
