This one question settles almost everything about what comes next. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Chilvers Coton itself or out in Nuneaton. Ring 0333 366 0103 with your key and motor both off. In Chilvers Coton, such a case is typically drained and cleaned where it stands. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. It is a bigger job, though step one does not change. Match what happened to a situation from the ones below, anywhere across Warwickshire you happen to be. ## Chilvers Coton forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump You're at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Maybe you're at the the nearest petrol station, maybe at the Texaco, possibly somewhere else in Chilvers Coton. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is as good as it gets. Still inside your tank, and no fuel pulled through: that's where the AdBlue sits. What to do: don't get back in and start the car to clear the pump. Three jobs: a push into a bay with the staff helping, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from the forecourt. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, so a car that can't be pushed clear gets drained right at the petrol pump. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Chilvers Coton Days had gone by with the warning light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look again at the cap. It takes place on drives just off A444 as frequently as anywhere. In short: if the vehicle has not been driven since, it's nearly equal to spotting it at the pump. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. What to do: leave the keys inside the house so nobody moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call. Your driveway is where it gets emptied, be it around Chilvers Coton or Hill Top. Our pumping kit works quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Chilvers Coton? A short way after topping up, your motor began playing up: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on the dash. Chilvers Rise, say, or the route to Coventry — a run of under 10 miles. The upshot: the system has drawn AdBlue through already. Distance decides how deep it gets: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector. It travels deeper with each mile covered and every restart. Do this: pull up anywhere safe, then switch the engine off. Exit at the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M6, under 5 miles from Chilvers Coton. It will not have cleared, and so there is no point starting it again to find out. Phone, saying what distance the vehicle was driven. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? It's a car you have had for a week. Unbeknown to you, the two inlets are next to each other here — not like your own car, which has none or keeps it in another spot. Any driver, wherever across Warwickshire, could make it. Put simply: an extra step on top of the cases above, which depend on whether it's run. The owner frequently has to approve the work, under many rental and company agreements. Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, because sorting it beforehand cuts time. If you're stranded in the car park at Bermuda Park, or by All Saints Church, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Chilvers Coton? Sometimes the fair answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia about your filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. A hurried top-up by the gates of Middlemarch School, or a visit to a friend in Bermuda: both fit. The upshot: the motor is not harmed by some AdBlue splashed around the outside. The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another story. Any AdBlue in that tank would be sucked in by starting your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it went in. Don't start the car. Phone with the details: we would rather confirm a clean tank than drain one after the engine has run. ## The common ground in every Chilvers Coton AdBlue drain Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Three questions come when our engineers reach the car — at a forecourt, a driveway, a road by The Pingles Stadium or the car park outside The Arches: the liquid, the amount, and whether it has been started. Answers shape the job; the quote follows by phone while nobody has left yet. AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out on its own; that's why the flush, after the drain, counts far more here than with petrol. Last are the filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; fresh diesel; and a test of your car. If the engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there. Firing it up comes at the end. Our technicians confirm it runs properly on new diesel before we leave. Our engineers do the whole job where the car is, and long-term damage is very rare when it has been spotted early. Paying comes that day, never upfront. For the insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a written report from the engineer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Chilvers Coton, for a moment Chilvers Coton is a suburban area in Warwickshire, situated on the River Anker, with a mix of terraced housing and local amenities.
