Find Your Situation Everything turns on a single fact: whether your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. Not run so far? Then keep the car like that, wherever your vehicle sits — Bryans Leap or Lintz. Normally that is emptying and properly purging it on the spot in Bryans Leap — and so leave the ignition and motor off and phone 0333 366 0103. Pull over the minute you safely can then turn off, if it has already run. Stage one remains unchanged, even though the work grows. Below: the situations our engineers meet, wherever across Durham. Choose yours. ## Bryans Leap forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Picture it: standing by the pump, gripping the bottle, you realise the cap you opened was not the right one. It could be the Esso, or the Texaco, or another forecourt in Bryans Leap. Put simply: there is no better place exists to spot it. The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. Freeing the pump is no excuse to run it — and so don't get back in. A few jobs: a push into a space with the attendants helping, the receipt kept, and a ring to us from the forecourt. Our equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed clear is cleared where it is at the petrol pump. ## Bryans Leap, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank The warning light had been on for days. Only by the recycling, the empty container in your hand, did you look back at the cap you'd opened at the driveway. Right off Birch Crescent is no different from anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Put the keys indoors tonight — or someone might drive it off first thing — and call us. Leazes or Bryans Leap: whichever your driveway is, that's where it gets drained. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## On the road around Bryans Leap with AdBlue in a diesel Filled up, drove away, and soon the motor was running unevenly, blowing smoke, down on power, or flashing up the dash. Anywhere along Oakleigh or else on the road to Newcastle upon Tyne — under 10 miles away. In short: the AdBlue has been sucked through the system. It has been through your filter and the lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and the injectors. Every restart, like every mile, pushes it on. Stop safely — that is the next step — then switch it off. Bryans Leap lies under 10 miles from the A1(M); on it, pull off at the first junction rather than pushing on to the services. It won't have cleared, and so there's no point restarting to check. Let us know the distance driven as you ring. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank A week ago, it was new to you. The AdBlue filler is right next to the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Anyone, wherever in Durham, could do the same. Meaning? Whichever case above applies here — run or unrun — plus one further step. The owner often needs to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and company agreements. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before our technicians get there than after. If you're stuck in the car park outside Blaydon, or by Burnopfield Gospel Fellowship, whilst you wait for an answer, leave your car off. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Bryans Leap? Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". Too light, that bottle; a hint of ammonia round your filler; no clear memory of the cap. Look familiar? The gates of Burnopfield Primary School in a rush, perhaps, or a friend's drive out in High Friarside. What it means: a little spilled round the filler does no damage to the engine. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would draw in any AdBlue that is in that tank. Take it that it got in, and don't turn the key. Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clear tank checked is a better outcome than an already-run one emptied. ## Bryans Leap: what every AdBlue drain has in common Each case gets the same opening to the work. Anywhere the vehicle is — The Sun Inn's car park, a road by Church Hall, a drive, a forecourt — the van gets there and asks about the liquid, the amount, plus whether your motor has been run. Your price is given on the call, before a van leaves, and the answers set the work. AdBlue crystallises and eats at certain metals in fuel systems, and so it does not rinse out on its own; that's why the flush, after the drain, matters far more here than with petrol. Finally are the filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; clean diesel; and a check of the car. If your motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there. Our technicians start the engine last. Our technicians confirm it runs properly on fresh diesel before leaving. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very rare when it has been spotted quickly. Nothing is taken upfront, payment happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Many policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels. ## About Bryans Leap Bryans Leap is a suburban area situated inland in County Durham, with an elevation of 179 metres and a population of approximately 2721 residents.
