# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Chequerfield

Has your motor run since the AdBlue was put in? That one question decides almost everything about what comes next.

Not run yet? Then leave the vehicle that way, whether your vehicle is — Chequerfield or Eastbourne.

Usually that is draining and properly cleaning it right there in Chequerfield — and so keep the ignition and engine off then call 0333 366 0103.

Already run? Pull over when you safely can, then turn everything off.

A bigger job, then, yet the identical opening step.

Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around West Yorkshire it happened.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Chequerfield forecourt

Imagine it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you realise the filler you took off wasn't the right one.

Perhaps you are at the Murco, maybe at the Esso, perhaps somewhere else around Chequerfield.

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

The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in.

Do this: stay out of the driver's seat, even if the queue wants freeing.

Ask the staff to help you roll your car into a parking bay, keep your receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt.

Emptying it right at the pump is fine if it can't be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Chequerfield drive?

For days the dashboard had been nagging 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.

Driveways near Broadway get it as much as any other street.

In short: if your car hasn't been driven since, it is almost equal to spotting it at the pump.

At the floor of that tank sits exactly where AdBlue waits, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference.

Keep your keys indoors tonight — otherwise a person might drive it away first thing — then phone us.

Your drive is where it is emptied, be it around Chequerfield or Grove Town.

Late-night empties beside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise.

## Chequerfield: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?

You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard.

Maybe driving to Wakefield, under 10 miles away, or just along East Drive.

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

Mileage decides how deep it goes: filter and pipework first, then the injection pump and every injector.

Each restart, like every mile, carries it deeper.

What to do: pull over where it's safe to do so and switch off.

Exit by the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the A1(M), under 3 miles from Chequerfield.

Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

About how far did it gone? Tell us when you call.

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

A week ago, the car was unknown to you.

The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

Throughout West Yorkshire, no one is immune.

What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage.

Many hire and company contracts require the owner's sign-off for repairs.

Next: ring the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before our arrival is faster.

Stuck by St Mary's Community Centre or at Pontefract Baghill until someone replies, your car remains switched off throughout.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in Chequerfield

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

Which cap was taken off, you cannot say; meanwhile the bottle feels lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by your filler.

A rushed stop by the gates of De Lacy Primary School, or a visit to a friend in Pontefract: either fits.

What it means: a little spilled around the filler does no harm to the motor.

AdBlue inside your diesel tank does.

If there is AdBlue in the tank, firing up the car will suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

Your move: act as though it got in, and don't start the engine.

Checking a tank that turns out free of AdBlue beats emptying one once it's been run — so ring and describe to us what you saw.

## Each AdBlue drain around Chequerfield shares these steps

Whichever scenario you are in, the job starts the same way.

Filling station, driveway, The Chequerfield's car park or a street by Church of the Holy Family — the van comes to your vehicle, and three answers come next: what liquid, which amount, and whether it has run.

Over the phone, before dispatch, you hear our quote, and those answers decide the job too.

AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals in fuel systems, and so it won't rinse out on its own; that is why a full flush, after the drain, matters much more with AdBlue than with petrol.

Last come the filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; fresh diesel; and a test of the vehicle.

If your engine has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there.

Lastly, we fire it up.

Our test that it runs properly on fresh diesel comes before our engineers head off.

The whole job is done where your car is, and when it's caught quickly, long-term damage is very uncommon.

Nothing is taken upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

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