Find Your Situation Has the motor turned over since the AdBlue was put in? This one point settles nearly everything else from here. Out in Winchmore Hill or right in Bush Hill Park, an unrun engine should stay unrun. Switch nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush plus a drain, carried out right where your car stands in Bush Hill Park. Already run? Pull over when you safely can, then turn it off. It is a bigger job, though stage one doesn't change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Greater London it happened. ## At the petrol pump around Bush Hill Park: AdBlue in a diesel Only at this point, nozzle yet in your hand, it dawns on you that the cap you opened was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump. Anywhere in Bush Hill Park, then — Texaco, Esso, or somewhere else nearby. Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is as good as it gets. The AdBlue is inside that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to start it — and so don't get back in. Have the attendants to help pushing it into a space, save the receipt, then ring us from there. If it can't be shifted, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Bush Hill Park On the dash, a warning had been lit all week. Picked up a bottle, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, after the fact. It occurs on drives just off Constance Road as commonly as anywhere. In short: if your car has not moved since, it is almost equal to spotting it at the forecourt. On the floor of the tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, since it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference. Next: the keys indoors, so nobody takes the vehicle anywhere first thing. Then, phone. Enfield or Bush Hill Park: wherever your drive sits, that is where it gets drained. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## On the road in Bush Hill Park with AdBlue in a diesel You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. It might have been heading to London, under 10 miles away, or just down Foxwood Green Close. Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue in. The high-pressure pump and every injector get it too on a longer trip, after the filter and lines have it. Every restart, like every mile, carries it deeper. Next: find a sensible place, stop, then turn your engine off. Bush Hill Park sits under 5 miles from the M25; there, pull off at the first junction rather than pressing on to the services. Restarting it to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. Let us hear the mileage driven as you call. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've had the car hardly a week. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets are side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has none or keeps it in another spot. Wherever you are around Greater London, any driver can be caught. The upshot: exactly as above, divided by whether it ran, but with an added stage. Work on your vehicle often requires the owner's approval under hire or company agreements. Sorting it before we turn up is faster, so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. Hanging on for an answer in the car park at the nearest station, or beside Bush Hill Park Methodist Church? Leave the car off throughout. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Bush Hill Park? Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". Lighter, that bottle; a hint of ammonia round the filler; no clear memory of which cap. Look familiar? It might have been on a friend's drive in Grange Park, or rushing by The Raglan Junior School on the school run. What it means: a little spilled about the filler does no damage to the engine. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Starting the car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will suck it in. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Do not fire it up. Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a better outcome than a run one drained. ## The common ground in each Bush Hill Park AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Three things are asked when we reach your car — on a forecourt, a driveway, a street beside St Stephen's Parish Church or the car park at the pub in the village: the liquid, the amount, and whether the motor has been started. Your price comes on the call, before a van leaves, and the replies shape the job. AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to certain metals used in fuel systems, so it does not rinse out unaided; that is why a full flush, after the drain, matters far more here than with petrol. Clean diesel is put in once the fuel filter is cleaned or changed, and your car is finally tested. If the engine hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Last, our engineers fire it up. Our engineers confirm it runs smoothly on clean diesel before we go. Our engineers do the whole job where your car is, and long-term damage is very rare when it has been spotted soon. Payment comes on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, so check yours while the van travels. ## About Bush Hill Park, briefly Bush Hill Park is a suburban area in the London Borough of Enfield, situated near the River Lea and close to the neighbouring areas of Enfield and Lower Edmonton.
