What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Campbell Park
One thing matters most once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if the motor has been started afterwards. Out in Hebburn New Town or here around Campbell Park, an unstarted motor must stay that way. Normally that is draining and properly rinsing it on the spot around Campbell Park — and so keep your key and engine off then ring 0333 366 0103. Stop the moment it is safe then turn off, if it has been run. It's a larger job, yet step one does not change.
Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever across Tyne and Wear it happened.
On a Campbell Park forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only notice it as you are stood at the pump, bottle or nozzle in hand. Anywhere in Campbell Park, then — JET, Esso, or somewhere else nearby.
What it means: this is the ideal place to find out. The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in.
What to do: don't get back in and crank it to clear the petrol pump. Get the attendants to help rolling it into a space, save the receipt, then phone us right there. Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that cannot be pushed clear gets emptied right at the petrol pump.
AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Campbell Park drive?
On your dash, a warning had shown for days. Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, recycled the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, after the fact. It takes place on driveways just off Cambridge Avenue as regularly as anywhere.
Put simply: if your vehicle hasn't moved since, it's almost equal to finding out at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the floor of the tank and remains put, no matter how long the night.
Put the keys indoors overnight — otherwise someone might drive it off first thing — then phone us. Hebburn or Campbell Park: wherever your drive sits, that is where it gets drained. Night-time clears outside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet.
Set off with AdBlue in a diesel in Campbell Park?
Filled up, pulled away, and before long the engine was running unevenly, smoking, down on power, or lighting up your dash. Maybe it was on Adair Way, perhaps on the way out towards Newcastle upon Tyne, under 5 miles away.
Meaning? Your fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue up. The injection pump and every injector get it too on a longer run, once the fuel filter and lines have had it. Every restart, like every mile, carries it on.
Pull in safely — that is the first step — then switch everything off. Campbell Park lies under 3 miles from the A194(M); on it, come off at the first junction rather than pressing on for the services. It will not have cleared, so there is no point restarting to find out. Phone us and say how far you drove.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles
It is a motor you have had for a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, its inlet is right by the diesel inlet — news to you. Wherever you happen to be across Tyne and Wear, every motorist can be caught.
Meaning? Whichever applies above counts here — run or not — plus one extra stage. The owner often has to approve the work, under plenty of rental and company contracts.
Settling it before we turn up is faster, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, then us. If you're stranded in the car park at Brockley Whins, or by Bede's Well, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.
AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Campbell Park
At times the fair answer is "I think so". A faint ammonia smell lingers around your filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall. It might have been on a friend's drive in Hebburn Row, or in a rush by Hebburn Lakes Primary School on the school run.
The point: the motor isn't harmed by a little AdBlue splashed around the filler. Inside the diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. Turning on the vehicle cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it will suck it in.
What to do: treat it as if it was put in. Do not fire it up. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
What each AdBlue drain in Campbell Park has in common
Each case has the same start to the work. Forecourt, drive, The Longship's car park or a street by Mosaic — our van reaches the vehicle, and three answers come next: what fluid, what quantity, and whether it ran. The price is given over the phone, before a van leaves, and the answers shape the work.
A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it's essential, since deposits build up and some metals are attacked, and none of it washes out unaided. Last are your filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; fresh diesel; and a check of the vehicle. Where your motor hasn't been started, expect about half an hour once we arrive, in most jobs.
Firing it up comes last. Before our engineers go, it's tested to be sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel. Lasting damage is very uncommon if it is spotted quickly, and the whole job is done where your car is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours whilst we're on the way.
