AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Clewer Village Has your engine turned over since the AdBlue got in? That single question decides almost everything else from here. Anywhere your vehicle is — Clewer Green, Clewer Village — don't run a motor that hasn't run yet. Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush after a drain, done right where your car stands in Clewer Village. Already run? Stop once safe, then turn everything off. The job is bigger, yet the first step is the same. Below: the cases our engineers meet, anywhere across Berkshire. Pick the one that fits. ## Clewer Village forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Only at this point, nozzle still in hand, you realise that the cap you opened was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump. Anywhere in Clewer Village, then — BP, Shell, or anywhere else nearby. What it means: this is the best spot to find out. Still inside that tank, with nothing drawn onwards: that's where the AdBlue is. Your move: keep out of the car, however much the pump wants clearing. Ring us from the forecourt once the vehicle is in a space — the attendants will help push it — and keep the bottle. Can't move the vehicle beside the pump? Our explosion-proof kit keeps a busy forecourt safe, so we can drain the vehicle where it is. ## Clewer Village, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank On your dash, a reminder had been lit all week. A bottle bought at the shop, emptied in at the drive — and it's only at the recycling that the cap caught a second look. Houses just off Mill Lane are caught out as much as everywhere else. Meaning? Provided your vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's close to the forecourt case. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of your tank and stays put, no matter how long it waits. Next: stop any early move by putting your keys in the house, then ring us. In Clewer New Town or right here in Clewer Village, the draining happens at your drive. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Clewer Village? A mile or two after filling up, your motor started misbehaving: roughness, smoke, less power, warnings on the dash. Maybe it was on Clewer Court Road, maybe on the way out towards Westminster, under 25 miles away. Meaning? The fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue up. It has been through your filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. What to do: pull over where it is safe and switch off. Clewer Village lies under 3 miles from the M4; on it, come off at the next junction instead of pressing on for the services. Restarting it to test gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Phone, saying what distance the car was driven. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? Seven days back, the car was new to you. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Berkshire. In short: an extra stage on top of the cases above, and those depend on if it has run. The owner frequently needs to approve the work, under many rental and fleet agreements. Your move: rental firm or fleet manager first, us second, because sorting it beforehand cuts time. Stranded near Mariquita Tennant or at Windsor & Eton Central till the firm answers, your vehicle stays switched off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Clewer Village? Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think so. Which cap came off, you cannot say; but the bottle weighs less than expected, and ammonia lingers by the filler. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at St Edward's Catholic First School, or on a friend's drive in Eton Wick. The point: your engine isn't hurt by a little AdBlue spilled on the filler. Once it's inside the diesel tank, though, it does. You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in the tank. Assume it was put in, and never turn the key. Ring us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run. ## The common ground in every Clewer Village AdBlue drain No matter the situation, a single start applies. Filling station, drive, The Swan's car park or a road beside St Andrews Church — the van reaches your car, and three questions come next: which fluid, which quantity, and whether it has run. Answers set the work; the price comes on the call whilst no one has left yet. A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it's crucial, because crystals build up and certain metals corrode, and none of it rinses away unaided. The fuel filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Never started? Then roughly half an hour once we are there is most jobs. The last step is firing it up. Our test that it runs correctly on new diesel comes before our technicians go. Our technicians do the whole job where your car is, and lasting damage is very unusual if it has been caught quickly. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money in advance. Check your insurance before we arrive: misfuelling cover comes included in many policies. ## About Clewer Village and where it is Clewer Village is a suburban area in Berkshire, situated on the riverside with an elevation of 22 metres, and is located near the historic towns of Windsor and Eton.
