# Burnt Tree: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation

Has your engine run since the AdBlue was put in? That one question settles nearly everything else from here.

Not started so far? Then keep the vehicle that way, wherever your vehicle sits — Burnt Tree or Cawney Hill.

Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, then expect a proper flush plus a drain, done right where your vehicle sits around Burnt Tree.

If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off.

Stage one remains unchanged, even if the work grows.

Below: the situations we meet, anywhere around West Midlands. Choose the one that fits.

## On a Burnt Tree forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the cap you took off was not the correct one.

Anywhere in Burnt Tree, then — Tesco, Esso, or anywhere else close by.

What it means: this is the best spot to find out.

Just that tank holds AdBlue; not one part past it has drawn any in.

Next: resist the urge to start it just to free up the pump.

Get the staff to help pushing it into a space, save the bottle, then phone us right there.

The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away gets drained where it is at the petrol pump.

## Burnt Tree, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank

Several days had passed with the warning light on.

You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap.

It takes place on drives just off Coneygree Road as frequently as anywhere.

Put simply: if your vehicle hasn't moved since, it's nearly as good as spotting it at the forecourt.

Diesel and AdBlue stay apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of your tank and stays put, however long the night.

Keep the keys in the house overnight — or a person might take it away at breakfast — then phone us.

Our technicians drain it on your drive, whether that's in Burnt Tree or out in Dudley Port.

The equipment runs quietly enough not to disturb the street at night.

## On the road around Burnt Tree with AdBlue in a diesel

A short way after filling up, your motor began misbehaving: roughness, smoke, less power, warnings on your dash.

Maybe driving for Wolverhampton, under 10 miles away, or just down Burnt Tree.

In short: the AdBlue has been pulled into the system.

It has been through the fuel filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the injectors.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Your move: pull up somewhere sensible, then turn your engine off.

Burnt Tree lies under 3 miles from the M5; there, come off at the first junction rather than pushing on to the services.

It will not have cleared, so there is no point restarting to find out.

Call us and say how far you drove.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

You've just had this vehicle a week.

Your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, and so no one told you the AdBlue inlet was just beside your diesel.

Any driver, wherever across West Midlands, could do it.

The upshot: exactly as above, split by whether it ran, only with one added stage.

Any work on the car frequently needs the owner's approval under hire or fleet agreements.

Do this: hire firm or your fleet manager first, us second, since settling it early cuts time.

Stranded near St Michael or at Dudley Port until the firm replies, the vehicle remains switched off throughout.

## Burnt Tree: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so".

A slight ammonia-like smell lingers around your filler, the bottle feels too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall.

The gates of Sacred Heart Primary School in a rush, perhaps, or someone's driveway over in Tipton Green.

What it means: a little spilled round your filler does no harm to the engine.

The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another story.

You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so would pull in any AdBlue that is in that tank.

Do this: behave as though it did, and don't start the motor.

Call us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.

## Burnt Tree: what every AdBlue drain has in common

No matter the case, one opening is used.

Anywhere the vehicle stands — Albion Inn's car park, a street by Just Youth, a drive, a forecourt — our van gets there and asks for the fluid, the amount, and whether the engine has been run.

On the phone, before dispatch, you hear our price, and those answers decide the work too.

Draining that tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more important with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not clear on their own, however long you wait.

Clean diesel is put in after your filter has been cleaned or replaced, and your car is finally checked.

If your engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.

Lastly, our technicians start the engine.

With new diesel in, it runs while our engineers make sure it's running properly, and then we go.

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

Nothing is taken upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice.

Dig out your insurance while we're en route: misfuelling cover comes built into many policies.
