# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Chapel Green

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

Out in Spring Bank or here in Chapel Green, an unstarted motor should remain unrun.

Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and count on a thorough flush plus a drain, carried out right where the car sits around Chapel Green.

Pull over the moment it is safe and turn off, if it has already run.

It is a bigger job, though stage one doesn't change.

Match your case to a situation from the list below, anywhere around West Midlands you happen to be.

## Chapel Green forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump

The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only spot it as you're standing at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand.

Anywhere around Chapel Green, then — Morrisons, another forecourt nearby, or somewhere else close by.

The point: of every spot to find out, this is the best.

Nothing has pulled it through, so the AdBlue sits just in the tank.

Your move: stay out of the car, however much the queue wants clearing.

Have the staff to help pushing it to a bay, save the receipt, then ring us right there.

Can't move the vehicle by the pump? Explosion-proof equipment makes a busy forecourt sensible, and so we can drain the car where it is.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Chapel Green

Several days had gone by with the dash light on.

Bought a bottle, poured it in at home, binned the empty — and only then checked the cap again, too late.

It takes place on drives just off Albion Street as commonly as anywhere.

Meaning? As long as the car hasn't moved since, it is second to the forecourt case.

Being reluctant to blend, AdBlue settles to the base in your tank and stays. One night parked changes nothing.

What to do: leave the keys inside the house so nobody moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call.

Your drive is where it gets drained, be it around Chapel Green or Shepwell Green.

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

## Chapel Green: set off with AdBlue in a diesel?

Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard arrived a short way beyond the fill.

Anywhere on Albion Road or else heading towards Wolverhampton — under 5 miles away.

What it means: your fuel system has pulled the AdBlue in.

Mileage decides how deep it gets: filter and pipework to begin with, then the injection pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Next: pick a sensible spot, stop, then turn the engine off.

On the M6, under 3 miles from Chapel Green, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

It will not have cleared, so there is no sense starting it again to check.

About what distance did it gone? Tell us when you phone.

## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?

A week back, the car was unknown to you.

The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

Anyone, anywhere around West Midlands, might do it.

Meaning? Whatever applies above applies too — run or not — plus one further stage.

The owner often needs to approve the work, under many hire and fleet contracts.

Do this: rental firm or fleet manager first, us next, because settling it early saves time.

Leave the car switched off while the answer arrives, even if you are parked at Willenhall or near Cholera Memorial Inscription.

## Chapel Green: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?

At times, "I think so" is all you can honestly say.

Too light, the bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; no clear recollection of which cap. Sound familiar?

It might have been on a friend's drive in The Manor, or rushing by Barcroft Academy at the school run.

Meaning? Drips around the filler never touch the motor at all.

In the diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it.

You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will draw in any AdBlue that is in the tank.

Do this: behave as though it got in, and never start the engine.

Checking a tank that proves free of AdBlue is better than emptying one after it has been run — so ring then describe to us what you saw.

## Chapel Green: what every AdBlue drain has in common

No matter the situation, a single start is used.

Forecourt, drive, Prince of Wales's car park or a street by Cholera Memorial — the van comes to your car, and three questions come next: what liquid, what amount, and whether it ran.

Those replies settle the work, and you hear the price by phone, before anyone heads out.

Draining that tank comes first, then a careful flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't clear by themselves, no matter how long it sits.

The fuel filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested.

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

Finally, we fire it up.

Our technicians confirm it runs properly on fresh diesel before we leave.

The whole job is done where the vehicle is, and if it is spotted quickly, long-term damage is very unusual.

Paying is that day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a report from the engineer.

Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling, and so check yours as we head over.
