# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Castle Green, and What to Do Next

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if the engine has run since it got in.

Not started so far? Then leave the car like that, whether your vehicle is — Castle Green or Ladyes Hills.

Ring 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor still off. Across Castle Green, that is typically emptied and flushed on the spot.

Already run? Stop when you safely can, then switch it off.

A larger job, then, yet the identical first move.

Compare what happened to one of the list below, anywhere around Warwickshire you happen to be.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Castle Green forecourt

Just at this point, nozzle yet in hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump.

It might be the Esso, or the Texaco, or a different forecourt around Castle Green.

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

Only that tank has AdBlue; no component past it has taken any in.

Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to start it — so don't get back in.

Get the attendants to lend a hand rolling it to a bay, save the bottle, then ring us from there.

Draining it right at the pump is possible if it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof.

## At home in Castle Green with AdBlue in the diesel tank

For days the dash had been warning you.

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

Drives near Clinton Avenue get it as much as anywhere.

Put simply: if the vehicle has not moved since, it is nearly equal to spotting it at the forecourt.

At the bottom of your tank sits exactly where AdBlue waits, since it will not mix with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference.

Next: prevent an early-morning drive by putting your keys indoors, then phone us.

Your driveway is where it is emptied, be it around Castle Green or Abbey Fields.

The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.

## On the road around Castle Green with AdBlue in a diesel

Rough running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard arrived a mile or two beyond the top-up.

Herbert Bond Drive, say, or the way to Coventry — a run of under 10 miles.

Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through your fuel system.

The high-pressure pump and every injector get it as well on a bigger run, once the fuel filter and pipework have had it.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Next: find a sensible spot, stop, and switch your engine off.

Castle Green lies under 10 miles from the M40; there, come off at the first junction instead of pushing on to the services.

Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

Roughly how far did it go? Say so when you call.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

You have had this car barely a week.

Your own car either does without AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so nothing told you the AdBlue inlet sits right next to the diesel.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Warwickshire.

Meaning? Whatever applies above counts too — run or unrun — plus one further step.

Any work on your car often requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or company terms.

Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us next, because sorting it beforehand saves time.

Waiting for an answer in the car park at Kenilworth, or beside Castle Green WWII Air Raid Shelter? Leave your engine off throughout.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Castle Green

"I think so" is sometimes as honest answer there is.

What cap was taken off, you can't say; but the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and ammonia lingers by the filler.

A rushed stop by the gates of Priors Field Primary School, or a call to a friend in Kenilworth: either fits.

Meaning? Spills outside the inlet never reach the engine at all.

The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story.

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

Next: assume it went in, and leave your motor off.

Ring and give what you saw: we would sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one after the motor has been run.

## The common ground in every Castle Green AdBlue drain

The job opens the same way, whichever your situation.

Three things come once we arrive — on a filling station, a driveway, a street by Leicester's Gatehouse or the car park at Queen & Castle: the liquid, the quantity, and if it has been started.

Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told our price, and those answers shape the work too.

A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it's essential, since crystals build up and some metals corrode, and neither rinses out unaided.

Fresh diesel goes in once the fuel filter has been flushed or changed, and your car is finally checked.

Never started? In that case about half an hour on site covers most jobs.

Starting it comes last.

Our check that it runs smoothly on new diesel comes before our engineers go.

The entire job is done where the vehicle is, and when it is spotted quickly, permanent damage is very rare.

For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money in advance.

Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way.

No towing is required, be it parked in the centre of Castle Green or on a layby en route to The Elizabethan Garden, and so keep it put.

Where it sits, that's where it is cleared.

Guessing won't help beside The Keep, on a border or somewhere awkward to describe; ring and ask.
