Bromborough Pool: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Has your motor run since the AdBlue got in? That one point decides nearly everything else from here. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is in Bromborough Pool itself or out in Lower Bebington. Leave your motor and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it's usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Bromborough Pool. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Step one remains unchanged, even if the work is bigger.
Compare what happened to a situation from the list below, anywhere in Merseyside you are.
AdBlue in a diesel on a Bromborough Pool forecourt
The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it while you're stood at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Possibly you're at the BP, possibly at the Asda, maybe somewhere else around Bromborough Pool.
Put simply: there is no better place to be to spot it. Only the tank has AdBlue; no component beyond it has taken any in.
Clearing the pump is no excuse to run it — and so do not get back in. Ask the staff to help you roll your car into a parking spot, keep your receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt. If it can't be shifted, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.
Bromborough Pool, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank
For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Only by the recycling, the empty container in hand, did you glance back at the cap you had used on the driveway. Right off Old Court House Road is not less likely from any other place.
Meaning? As long as the vehicle has not moved since, it is second to the pump case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that.
What to do: leave your keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then ring. Port Sunlight or Bromborough Pool: wherever your drive is, that's where it gets emptied. Late-night clears outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet.
Bromborough Pool: set off with AdBlue in a diesel?
A short way beyond filling up, the motor began playing up: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on the dash. Boniface Close, perhaps, or the way towards Liverpool — a run of under 5 miles.
Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled into your fuel system. It has been through your filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and your injectors. Each restart, like each mile, pushes it deeper.
What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. On the M53, under 3 miles from Bromborough Pool, that means the next exit, not the services further on. Starting it again to check achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Let us hear the mileage covered when you ring.
Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank
You have only had the vehicle for days. On your own car, AdBlue is missing or somewhere else. On this one, its cap is right by your diesel inlet — news to you. Anyone, anywhere around Merseyside, might do the same.
What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. Plenty of hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on your car.
Sorting it before the van turn up is quicker, so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. If you're stuck in the car park at Port Sunlight, or by St. Matthew's Church & Family Centre, while you wait for an answer, leave your car off.
Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Bromborough Pool?
At times the fair answer is "I think so". A slight ammonia whiff hangs near your filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. A hurried stop by the gates of Church Drive Primary School, or a visit to a friend in Bromborough: both fits.
What it means: a little spilled about the filler does no damage to the engine. Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, that changes. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would suck in any AdBlue that is in your tank.
Do this: act as if it got in, and never start your motor. Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank checked counts as a better result than an already-run one emptied.
What every AdBlue drain around Bromborough Pool has in common
No matter the situation, a single start is used. Forecourt, drive, The Bridge Inn's car park or a street beside Christ Church — our van reaches your vehicle, and three questions come next: what liquid, which amount, and whether it has run. Those answers settle the work, and you get our quote on the phone, before anybody sets off.
AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, and so it does not rinse out on its own; that's why the flush, after the drain, matters much more here than with petrol. Then comes the filter — cleaned, or swapped when necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of your vehicle. Where your engine hasn't run, expect about half an hour once we arrive, in most jobs.
Last, our engineers start the car. With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians make sure it's running properly, and then we go. Lasting damage is very unusual when it's caught soon, and the whole job is done where your car is. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, nothing upfront. It is worth remembering: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy as you wait is worthwhile.
