Find Your Situation Everything turns on one detail: if the motor has started after the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. Over in New Bradwell or here in Bradville, an unstarted engine must remain unrun. Usually this is draining and thoroughly purging it on the spot around Bradville — and so leave the ignition and engine off then call 0333 366 0103. Already started? Pull over once safe, then switch everything off. The job is bigger, yet the first stage is the same. Match what happened to one of the list below, anywhere across Buckinghamshire you happen to be. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Bradville forecourt The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only spot it while you're standing at the pump, bottle or nozzle in hand. Possibly you are at the Shell, possibly at the BP, perhaps somewhere else in Bradville. The point: of all places to notice, this is the best. Only your tank holds AdBlue; no part past it has taken any in. What to do: don't get back in and start the vehicle to clear the pump. Get the attendants to lend a hand pushing it into a bay, hold on to the receipt, then phone us from there. Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away is emptied where it is at the pump. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Bradville drive? The warning light had been on for days. Picked up a bottle, poured it in at home, binned the empty — and at that point checked the cap a second time, too late. Houses just off V6 Grafton Street get caught out as much as anywhere else. In short: if the car has not been driven since, it's nearly as good as finding out at the forecourt. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. What to do: leave the keys inside the house so nobody moves your car in the morning. Then ring. Our engineers drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is in Bradville or out in Bancroft. The pumping kit runs quiet enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Bradville: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? A mile or two beyond filling up, the motor started playing up: roughness, smoke, less power, lights on your dash. Anywhere on Bradville Roundabout or else heading to Milton Keynes — under 3 miles away. Meaning? Your fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue in. Past your filter, along the lines, and — the further the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. It goes deeper with every mile driven and every restart. What to do: pull over where it's safe then switch off. Services further on are too far: on the M1, under 3 miles out of Bradville, use the first junction. Starting it again to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. About how far did it gone? Say so when you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars You have had the vehicle hardly a week. The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, wherever around Buckinghamshire, might do the same. The upshot: exactly as above, split by if it ran, only with one added step. The owner often has to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and fleet agreements. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before our technicians arrive than after. Hanging on for a reply in the car park at Wolverton, or near Eaglestone Estate Bird Bioxes? Leave your engine off throughout. ## Bradville: unsure if it was AdBlue in your diesel tank? Honestly, the only answer may be that you think so. Too light, the bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; a hazy recollection of which cap. Look familiar? Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Pepper Hill School, or on a friend's drive in Heelands. Meaning? Spills outside the inlet don't reach the engine at all. If it's inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would draw in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Next: act as though it got in, then keep your engine off. Tell us what you saw on the phone. A clear tank looked at is a better outcome than an already-run one drained. ## Every AdBlue drain in Bradville shares these steps The work opens the same way, whichever your situation. Anywhere your vehicle stands — Halley's Comet's car park, a road by Bancroft Roman Villa, a driveway, a filling station — our van arrives and we ask about the liquid, the amount, plus whether your motor has turned over. Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you are told our quote, and those replies decide the work too. Emptying that tank comes next, then a full flush — more vital with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't clear by themselves, no matter how long it sits. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Where your engine hasn't been started, allow about half an hour on site, in most cases. The last step is firing it up. Before our technicians head off, it's tested to be sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel. Lasting damage is very unusual if it's noticed quickly, and the whole job is done where the car is. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money upfront. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Bradville itself Bradville is a suburban area in Buckinghamshire, situated near the banks of a river at an elevation of around 81 metres.
