# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Borough Corner

Has the motor run since the AdBlue went in? That one question settles almost everything else from here.

If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Borough Corner itself or out in Flanshaw.

Leave the engine and your ignition off and phone 0333 366 0103; it is usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Borough Corner.

Already started? Pull over once you safely can, then switch it off.

It is a larger job, yet stage one does not change.

Compare what happened to one of the ones below, anywhere across West Yorkshire you happen to be.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Borough Corner forecourt

The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you are standing at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand.

Somewhere around Borough Corner, then — Morrisons, Co-op, or somewhere else close by.

Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is as good as it can be.

The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in.

What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the pump.

Three things: a push into a space with the attendants helping, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from where you stand.

If it can't be shifted, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Borough Corner

The warning light had been on for days.

Bought a bottle, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, too late.

Homes just off Sycamore Copse get hit as often as everywhere else.

Meaning? As long as the vehicle hasn't moved since, it is close to the pump case.

At the bottom of your tank sits where AdBlue waits, since it will not blend with diesel — and a night passing changes nothing of the difference.

What to do: leave the keys inside the house so no one moves your car in the morning. Then call.

We drain the car on your driveway, whether that's around Borough Corner or out in Westgate Common.

Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a residential street.

## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Borough Corner?

Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard started a short way after the top-up.

Possibly it was on Rayfield, perhaps on the way out towards Wakefield, under 3 miles away.

In short: the AdBlue has been pulled into the system.

It's been through your filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the injectors.

It travels deeper with each mile driven and every restart.

What to do: pull over where it is safe and switch off.

On the M1, under 3 miles from Borough Corner, that means the next junction, not the services further on.

Starting it again to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

Call, saying how far the vehicle went.

## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?

Seven days back, the car was unknown to you.

On your own car, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, its inlet is right next to your diesel cap — news to you.

Wherever you happen to be around West Yorkshire, any motorist can slip up.

Meaning? Whichever applies above applies too — run or not — plus one extra step.

The owner frequently has to approve the work, under plenty of rental and fleet contracts.

Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, since settling it early cuts time.

Keep it switched off as the reply arrives, even if you are parked outside Wakefield Westgate or close to The Lupset Mining Memorial.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around Borough Corner

"I think so" is often as honest as it gets.

The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia around your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off.

A rushed top-up by the gates of St Michael's CofE Academy, or a call to a friend in Brooks Bank: either fits.

In short: spillage near your filler leaves your engine unharmed.

In the diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue harms it.

Starting your car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it will draw it in.

Take it that it got in, and don't turn your engine.

Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clear tank checked counts as a happier result than an already-run one drained.

## What every AdBlue drain in Borough Corner has in common

Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way.

Filling station, driveway, The Magnet's car park or a street beside Al Markaz Ul Islami — our van comes to your vehicle, and three answers come next: which fluid, what quantity, and whether it ran.

Your price comes over the phone, before a van leaves, and those replies set the work.

Then your tank is emptied and the fuel system rinsed thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not rinse out on its own.

Next is the filter — cleaned, or swapped when necessary — then clean diesel, and a test of your car.

Most unrun vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment our technicians arrive.

Finally, our engineers fire it up.

Our test that it runs properly on fresh diesel comes before our engineers leave.

Permanent damage is very uncommon when it is spotted quickly, and the entire job is done where the car is.

Nothing is taken upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what the insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

Check your insurance before we're en route: cover for misfuelling is built into plenty of policies.
