--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Broadmayne? Next Steps canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/broadmayne-dorset/ location: Broadmayne county: Dorset latitude: 50.677950 longitude: -2.383660 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-20 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Broadmayne: What Now? Everything hinges on a single fact: if the motor has started after the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Broadmayne itself or out in Poxwell. Leave the motor and your ignition off then call 0333 366 0103; it's normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Broadmayne. Pull over the minute it is safe then switch off, if it has already run. Step one remains unchanged, even though the work grows. Match what happened to one of the ones below, wherever in Dorset you happen to be. ## On a Broadmayne forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: stood by the petrol pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the cap you opened was not the right one. Maybe you are at the Texaco, perhaps at the Tesco, maybe somewhere else around Broadmayne. Put simply: no better spot to be to spot it. The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Do this: stay out of the driver's seat, however much the queue wants clearing. Ask the attendants to help you roll the vehicle into a parking space, keep the receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. Stuck by the pump? Our explosion-proof equipment keeps a live forecourt safe, so it can be drained in place. ## Broadmayne, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank Days had gone by with the dash light on. A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the driveway — and it's only by the recycling that the cap caught a second look. It takes place on drives just off Main Street as often as anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. On the bottom of your tank sits where AdBlue waits, because it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by makes no difference. Next: stop an early-morning drive by keeping your keys in the house, then phone us. Your driveway is where it is emptied, be it around Broadmayne or West Knighton. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a residential street. ## On the road in Broadmayne with AdBlue in a diesel You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Somewhere on Chalky Road or heading towards Salisbury — under 50 miles away. The upshot: your system has drawn AdBlue through already. It has been through the fuel filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and the fuel injectors. It goes deeper with every mile covered and every restart. What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so and switch off. On the M5, under 50 miles from Broadmayne, that means the next junction, not the services further on. It won't have cleared, so there's no sense starting it again to check. About what distance did it go? Tell us as you call. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You have just had the vehicle for days. On your own car, AdBlue is missing or somewhere else. On this one, its inlet is just next to the diesel inlet — a surprise to you. Throughout Dorset, nobody is immune. Meaning? Whichever case above counts here — run or unrun — and one further step. Many hire and company agreements want the owner to approve work on the car. Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us second, since sorting it beforehand cuts time. Stranded near Broadmayne Village Hall or outside Dorchester South till someone answers, the car remains turned off throughout. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Broadmayne? Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think so. Which cap was taken off, you cannot recall; meanwhile the bottle feels less than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by the filler. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Broadmayne First School, or on a friend's drive in Silverlakes. In short: spillage round your filler does the engine unharmed. Inside your diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. Any AdBlue in the tank will be drawn in by firing up the vehicle, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Do not fire it up. Checking a tank that turns out clean is better than emptying one after it has been run — so ring then tell us what you noticed. ## What every AdBlue drain in Broadmayne has in common The work opens identically, whichever the case. Three questions come when we arrive — at a forecourt, a driveway, a street beside St Martin or the car park at Black Dog: the fluid, the quantity, and if it has been started. Over the phone, before anything else, you hear our price, and those answers decide the job too. AdBlue forms crystals and eats at certain metals used in fuel systems, and so it does not rinse out unaided; that's why a full flush, after the drain, counts much more with AdBlue than with petrol. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Where your engine has not been started, allow about half an hour once we arrive, in most jobs. Last, our engineers fire it up. Our check that it runs properly on new diesel comes before our technicians head off. The entire job is done where the car is, and if it is caught quickly, lasting damage is very uncommon. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Worth knowing: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, and so a check of your documents as we travel pays. ## About Broadmayne, briefly Broadmayne is a village in south Dorset, situated near the coast at an elevation of around 49 metres.

A postcode starting DT2 8 is the quickest way to tell us where you are. Whether your car is on a lay-by on the way to Salt Hill Plantation or in a car park in the middle of Broadmayne, it does not need to shift. The van drains it in place. Ring and ask instead of guessing when you're by Mayne Stone Circle, near a boundary, or somewhere awkward to pin down. ## The one-line version Still unrun? Leave the car off then ring. Whatever case fits, Petrol in Diesel takes over the rest on 0333 366 0103, throughout Dorset and within Broadmayne — once you pull over, turn off then phone, if it has run.
