Over in Old Woods or here around Bomere Heath, an unstarted engine must stay unrun. Phone 0333 366 0103 with the key and motor still off. In Bomere Heath, that is typically drained and flushed where it stands. Already started? Pull over when safe, then switch everything off. Stage one remains unchanged, even if the job is bigger. Compare your case to one of the ones below, wherever around Shropshire you are. ## At the petrol pump around Bomere Heath: AdBlue in a diesel Picture it: stood by the pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the cap you opened wasn't the right one. Somewhere around Bomere Heath, then — Esso, BP, or somewhere else close by. The upshot: of every spot to find out, the forecourt is the best. Only that tank holds AdBlue; not one component past it has taken any in. Next: avoid the urge to fire it up only to move away from the pump. Phone us from the forecourt once your vehicle sits in a space — the attendants will help push it — then save the receipt. Emptying it there at the petrol pump is possible when it can't be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Bomere Heath For days the dash had been nagging you. Picked up a container, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and only then checked the cap a second time, too late. Houses just off Shrewsbury Road are caught out as much as everywhere else. Put simply: if the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's almost equal to spotting it at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue drops to the base of your tank and remains there, however long the night. Your move: the keys indoors, so no one drives your car anywhere at breakfast. After that, ring. Our technicians drain the car on your driveway, whether that's around Bomere Heath or out in Merrington. Night-time clears outside a house are no problem: the pumps are low-noise. ## Bomere Heath: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a glowing dashboard started a mile or two beyond the fill. Anywhere along Merrington Road or else on the road to Wrexham — under 25 miles away. Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue in. The injection pump and each injector get it too on a longer run, once your filter and pipework have it. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: find a sensible spot, pull in, then turn your motor off. Service stations further along are too far: from the M54, under 15 miles out of Bomere Heath, use the next junction. Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. Phone, saying what distance the car was driven. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank Seven days ago, it was new to you. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers are side by side here — unlike your own car, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Shropshire. Meaning? Whichever applies above counts here — run or unrun — plus one further step. The owner often needs to approve the work, under plenty of rental and company agreements. Next: ring the rental company or the fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Stranded by Mission Chapel or at Yorton until someone replies, your car stays turned off throughout. ## Bomere Heath: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank? "I think so" is sometimes as honest as it gets. Too light, the bottle; a trace of ammonia round the filler; a hazy memory of the cap. Look familiar? A rushed stop by the gates of Bomere Heath Church of England Primary School, or a call to a friend in Dunnsheath: both fits. Meaning? Spills around the inlet never reach your motor at all. If it is inside the diesel tank, though, it does. Firing up the car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would draw it in. Your move: behave as though it did, and never start your motor. Phone with the details: we'd sooner find a tank free of AdBlue than empty one after your motor has run. ## The common ground in every Bomere Heath AdBlue drain The job begins identically, whatever your case. Three things come when our engineers arrive — at a forecourt, a drive, a road by Bomere Heath Tennis Club or the car park at Red Lion: the fluid, the amount, and if the motor has run. The price comes on the call, before a van leaves, and the replies shape the job. A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, since deposits build up and certain metals corrode, and neither rinses out unaided. Clean diesel goes in after the filter has been flushed or changed, and your car is finally checked. Where the motor hasn't been started, allow about half an hour once we arrive, in most cases. Starting the engine comes last. Before our engineers head off, it's tested to confirm it runs smoothly on new diesel. Permanent damage is very unusual if it's noticed soon, and the whole job is done where the car is. Paying is on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Bomere Heath and where it is Bomere Heath is a village in Shropshire, situated inland at an elevation of 96 metres, and is located near the villages of Merrington and Leaton.
