Find Your Situation Has the motor turned over since the AdBlue got in? This one question decides almost everything else from here. Over in Hampton Green or right in Bubblewell, an unstarted engine should remain that way. Leave the motor and the ignition off and call 0333 366 0103; it's normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is around Bubblewell. When your motor has run, pull in somewhere safe first, then turn it off. Stage one stays the same, even though the job is bigger. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever across Gloucestershire it happened. ## Bubblewell forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Imagine it: stood by the pump, gripping the bottle, you realise the filler you took off wasn't the correct one. Anywhere in Bubblewell, then — Shell, Murco, or anywhere else close by. The upshot: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. Still inside the tank, with nothing pulled onwards: that is where the AdBlue is. Clearing the petrol pump is no excuse to start it — and so don't get back in. Phone us from the forecourt once the vehicle sits in a bay — the staff will help push it — then save the receipt. If it cannot be shifted, it can be cleared at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt. ## At home in Bubblewell with AdBlue in the diesel tank The warning light had been on for days. Picked up a bottle, poured it in outside the house, binned the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, too late. Houses just off Well Hill get caught out as much as everywhere else. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue drops to the base of the tank and remains put, however long it waits. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves your car in the morning. Then call. Forwood or Bubblewell: whichever your drive is, that is where it is emptied. Night-time clears beside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise. ## Bubblewell: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Somewhere along Tobacconist Road or heading towards Gloucester — under 15 miles away. Put simply: the AdBlue has been sucked through the system. The high-pressure pump and each injector get it too on a bigger run, once your filter and lines have it. Every restart, like every mile, carries it deeper. Do this: pull up anywhere safe, then turn the engine off. Bubblewell sits under 10 miles from the M5; there, come off at the next junction rather than pushing on for the services. It won't have cleared, so there's no sense starting it again to find out. Tell us hear the mileage covered as you call. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank A week back, it was unknown to you. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers sit next to each other here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or keeps it in another spot. Any driver, anywhere across Gloucestershire, could do it. The point: just as above, split by if it ran, but with an added stage. Work on your vehicle frequently requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet agreements. Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us next, since sorting it beforehand saves time. If you are stranded in the car park at Stroud, or by Minchinhampton Youth and Community Centre, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Bubblewell? Now and then, "I think so" is all you can truthfully say. Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; a hazy recollection of the cap. Look familiar? Maybe on a friend's drive in Box, or in a rush outside Minchinhampton Primary Academy at the school run. In short: a spill round your filler leaves the motor unharmed. Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, that changes. You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank. Next: assume it went in, then leave your engine off. Checking a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than draining one after it's been run — so ring and tell us what you noticed. ## The common ground in each Bubblewell AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way. Filling station, driveway, Weighbridge Inn's car park or a street by Holy Trinity — our van reaches your vehicle, and three answers come next: what fluid, what amount, and if it has run. Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you are told the price, and those answers decide the work too. Emptying your tank comes first, then a full flush — more important with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long you wait. Last come the filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a check of your car. Most unrun vehicles are a half-hour job after the moment our engineers turn up. Lastly, our technicians fire it up. With clean diesel in, it runs while we check it is running correctly, and then we go. We do the entire job where the vehicle is, and long-term damage is very rare when it has been noticed quickly. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way. ## About Bubblewell and where it is Bubblewell is a suburban area in Gloucestershire, situated inland at an elevation of around 150 metres.
