Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can truthfully say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia round the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off.

The point: your engine is not hurt by some AdBlue splashed around the outside. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. Any AdBlue in the tank would be sucked in by turning on your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. Next: assume it got in, and keep the motor off. Describe what you noticed on your phone.

Wherever the vehicle is — Lane7's car park, a road by Central Library, a drive, a filling station — the van arrives and asks about the fluid, the amount, plus if the engine has been run. The price comes over the phone, before a van leaves, and those answers shape the job. AdBlue forms crystals and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, so it does not rinse out unaided; that is why a full flush, after this drain, counts far more here than with petrol. Fresh diesel is put in after the fuel filter has been flushed 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.
