Find Your Situation Everything turns on a single fact: if your engine has started since the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Wherever the car is — Four Ashes, Blundies — don't start an engine that hasn't been started yet. Usually this is draining and thoroughly cleaning it on the spot in Blundies — so leave your key and engine off then call 0333 366 0103. Already started? Stop when you safely can, then switch it off. The job is bigger, yet the first step is the same. Compare what happened to a situation from the list below, wherever in Staffordshire you are. ## Blundies forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Imagine it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the cap you took off wasn't the right one. It could be the Texaco, or the Esso, or a different forecourt around Blundies. Put simply: there is no better spot exists to spot it. The AdBlue is inside that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Freeing the pump is no reason to start it — so don't get back in. Ask the attendants to help you push the car into a parking space, keep the till receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. If it cannot be shifted, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt. ## Blundies, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank On the dash, a warning had shown for days. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look again at the cap. Driveways close to Morfe Lane see it as much as any other street. Meaning? Provided the car has not moved since, it's close to the pump case. On the floor of that tank is where AdBlue stays, since it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference. Keep the keys indoors overnight — otherwise someone may take it away first thing — and phone us. We drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is around Blundies or out in Enville. Late-night clears beside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Blundies? Filled up, pulled away, and soon your engine was turning roughly, smoking, down on power, or flashing up the dash. Possibly it was on Morfe Hall Lane, possibly on the way out towards Wolverhampton, under 10 miles away. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled into the fuel system. It has been through the filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Do this: stop somewhere sensible, then turn your engine off. Exit by the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the M5, under 10 miles from Blundies. It will not have cleared, and so there's no sense restarting to check. Roughly how far did it gone? Say so when you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car It's a vehicle you have had for a week. On your own car, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, its inlet is just by the diesel inlet — news to you. Wherever you are around Staffordshire, any motorist can be caught. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Many hire and fleet contracts require the owner's approval for work. Do this: hire firm or fleet manager to begin with, us second, because sorting it early cuts time. If you are stuck in the car park outside Stourbridge Town, or by St Mary the Virgin, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the car off. ## Blundies: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? Sometimes the fair answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Corbett VA CofE Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Compton. In short: a spill round the filler does your engine no harm. A diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another matter. You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will suck in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Do this: behave as if it got in, and never start your motor. Tell us what you saw on your phone. A clear tank looked at is a happier outcome than a run one emptied. ## What every AdBlue drain around Blundies has in common No matter the situation, a single start applies. Forecourt, drive, The Cat Inn's car park or a street by The Holy Cross, Bobbington — the van comes to your car, and three answers come next: what fluid, which quantity, and whether it has run. Those answers decide the work, and you hear the quote on the phone, before anyone heads out. A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it's essential, since deposits form and certain metals corrode, and none of that rinses away unaided. Last are the fuel filter, flushed or replaced as needed; clean diesel; and a check of the car. Where your motor has not been started, allow roughly half an hour once we arrive, for most cases. Starting the car comes at the end. We confirm it runs smoothly on fresh diesel before we leave. If it is caught soon, the car very rarely has permanent damage, and the whole job takes place where it is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way. ## About Blundies, for a moment Blundies is a locality in southern Staffordshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of around 93 metres.
