# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Bramley Green

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: whether your engine has been run since it was put in.

If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is around Bramley Green itself or out in Cufaude.

Ring 0333 366 0103 with the key and engine still off. In Bramley Green, that is generally drained and flushed on the spot.

Already started? Pull over once you safely can, then turn everything off.

Step one remains unchanged, even though the job is bigger.

Anywhere across Hampshire it happened, one of the situations below fits yours.

## At the pump in Bramley Green: AdBlue in a diesel

The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only spot it while you're stood at the pump, bottle or nozzle in your hand.

Possibly you are at the BP, possibly at the Tesco, maybe somewhere else around Bramley Green.

Meaning? Spotting it here is the best it can be.

Nothing has pulled it through, so the AdBlue stays only inside that tank.

Freeing the pump is no excuse to run it — and so don't get back in.

A few things: a shove into a space with the attendants helping, the receipt kept, and a call to us from where you stand.

Draining it there at the pump is fine when it can't be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Bramley Green drive?

Several days had passed with the warning light on.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you'd used on the drive.

It takes place on driveways just off Sherfield Road as often as anywhere.

What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt.

On the bottom of the tank is where AdBlue waits, since it will not mix with diesel — and a night going by makes no difference.

Your move: keys in the house, and so nobody drives your car off first thing. After that, phone.

Out in Bramley or right here in Bramley Green, the drain happens on your driveway.

Night-time empties outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet.

## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Bramley Green?

A mile or two after topping up, the engine began playing up: roughness, smoke, lost power, warnings on the dash.

Maybe driving for Winchester, under 25 miles away, or simply down Folly Lane.

What it means: the fuel system has pulled the AdBlue in.

Mileage decides how deep it gets: filter and pipework first, then the injection pump and each injector.

More miles, more restarts: further it goes.

Your move: pull up somewhere sensible, then switch your motor off.

On the M3, under 5 miles from Bramley Green, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

Do not restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have.

Roughly what distance had it go? Tell us when you call.

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

You have only driven the car a week.

On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is just next to your diesel cap — a surprise to you.

Across Hampshire, nobody is safe from it.

What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage.

The owner frequently needs to sign off the work, under many hire and company contracts.

Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, since sorting it early cuts time.

If you're stuck in the car park outside Bramley (Hants), or by Farriers Field Open Space, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.

## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Bramley Green?

Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think it did.

What cap came off, you can't recall; but the bottle feels less than it ought to, and ammonia lingers by the filler.

The gates of Bramley Church of England Primary School in a hurry, say, or someone's driveway out in Church End.

Put simply: spillage near the filler does the motor unharmed.

If it's inside your diesel tank, though, it does.

If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on your car would pull it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

Next: assume it got in, then leave your engine off.

Checking a tank that turns out free of AdBlue beats draining one once it's been run — so phone and describe to us what you noticed.

## Bramley Green: what every AdBlue drain has in common

The job begins the same way, whichever your case.

Forecourt, driveway, Bramley Inn's car park or a road by Bramley Millenium Monument — the van reaches your vehicle, and three questions come next: what fluid, what amount, and whether it has run.

Your price is given over the phone, before a van leaves, and those answers set the work.

Draining that tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more vital after urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't clear on their own, no matter how long it sits.

Last come the filter, flushed or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a test of the car.

Never started? Then roughly half an hour on site covers most jobs.

Firing it up comes at the end.

Before we leave, it is checked to be sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel.

Long-term damage is very rare when it's spotted quickly, and the entire job is done where your car is.

Payment comes on the day, never upfront. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer.

Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels.
