Baptist End: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
All of that hinges on one fact: if your engine has been run since the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Wherever your vehicle is — Dixons Green, Baptist End — don't start a motor that has not run yet. Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, carried out just where the vehicle stands in Baptist End. When your motor has run, pull in somewhere safe straight away, then turn the car off. The job is bigger, but the first step is the same.
Wherever around West Midlands it took place, one of the cases below matches yours.
Baptist End forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
Imagine it: stood by the petrol pump, gripping the nozzle, you realise the filler you took off wasn't the correct one. Possibly you are at the BP, maybe at the another forecourt nearby, maybe somewhere else around Baptist End.
Meaning? Finding out here is the best it gets. Just that tank holds AdBlue; no component past it has drawn any in.
Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to run it — and so don't get back in. Get the attendants to help rolling it into a space, hold on to the receipt, then ring us from there. Can't move the car beside the pump? Our explosion-proof equipment makes a busy forecourt safe, so it can be drained where it is.
AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Baptist End drive?
The warning light had been on for days. A bottle bought at the garage, emptied in on the driveway — and it was only at the recycling that the cap got a second look. Right off Spring Road is no less likely from anywhere.
Meaning? Provided your car hasn't been driven since, it is close to the pump case. Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue drops to the floor of that tank and remains there, no matter how long the night.
Keep the keys in the house overnight — or someone might drive it away at breakfast — then phone us. Netherton or Baptist End: whichever your drive is, that's where it gets cleared. Late-night drains outside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise.
AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Baptist End?
A short way beyond filling up, your motor started misbehaving: rough running, smoke, lost power, warnings on the dash. It might have been heading to Wolverhampton, under 10 miles away, or just along Swan Street.
Meaning? The fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue in. Past the filter, through the pipework, and — the more the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each restart, like every mile, pushes it deeper.
Do this: stop anywhere safe, then turn your engine off. Baptist End sits under 3 miles from the M5; on it, pull off at the first junction rather than pushing on for the services. No trial starts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue does. Roughly how far had it go? Say so as you call.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars
You have only had this vehicle a week. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel one, which you did not know, since your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Anyone, anywhere across West Midlands, could make the same.
What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it has run, with one more step. Any work on the car frequently needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet terms.
What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before we arrive than after. Waiting for an answer in the car park at Cradley Heath, or beside People's Mission Hall? Keep your car off meanwhile.
Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Baptist End?
Honestly, the best answer might be that you think it did. What cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by your filler. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Northfield Road Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Windmill End.
Meaning? Spills outside the inlet never touch your engine at all. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another story. Any AdBlue in your tank would be drawn in by starting the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case.
Do this: act as if it got in, and don't start your motor. Call us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
Baptist End: what each AdBlue drain has in common
No matter the case, one opening is used. Forecourt, drive, The White Swan's car park or a road by Netherton Islamic Trust Masjid — our van reaches the vehicle, and three answers follow: which liquid, which amount, and whether it ran. Answers shape the work; the price follows on the call while nobody has left yet.
Draining that tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more important with urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't clear by themselves, however long you wait. Clean diesel is put in once your filter has been cleaned or changed, and your car is then tested. Most unrun cars are a half-hour job from the moment our technicians get there.
Firing it up comes at the end. With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians confirm it is running smoothly, and then we head off. Our engineers do the entire job where your car is, and permanent damage is very uncommon when it has been noticed quickly. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Worth remembering: many insurers include misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your documents while we travel pays.
