Find Your Situation All of that hinges on one detail: whether your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Out in Newton Kyme or right in Clifford, an unstarted motor must stay unrun. Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush plus a drain, done right where the car sits around Clifford. Already run? Stop once you safely can, then switch everything off. A larger job, then, yet the identical opening move. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever in West Yorkshire it happened. ## Clifford forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump You are at the petrol 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 are at the Boston Spa Garage, perhaps at the Shell, possibly somewhere else around Clifford. What it means: this is the best location to find out. Just the tank has AdBlue; no part past it has taken any in. What to do: don't get back in and crank it to clear the petrol pump. Three things: a shove into a bay with the attendants helping, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from where you stand. Stuck beside the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof kit keeps a busy forecourt sensible, and so it can be drained in place. ## At home in Clifford with AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Bought a container, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and only then checked the cap again, too late. Drives near Albion Street see it as much as any other street. The point: no driving since makes this nearly as good to finding it at the petrol pump. At the bottom of the tank sits where AdBlue waits, since it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference. Next: stop an early-morning move by keeping the keys in the house, then ring us. Boston Spa or Clifford: wherever your drive sits, that is where it is cleared. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## Clifford: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Anywhere along High Street or on the road to Leeds — under 15 miles away. What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in. The injection pump and every injector get it as well on a longer trip, after the filter and pipework have had it. Each restart, like every mile, carries it on. What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. Leave by the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the A1(M), under a mile from Clifford. Do not restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Ring us and say how far you drove. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You've just driven the car for days. Your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, so nothing warned you the AdBlue cap sits right next to the diesel. Anyone, anywhere around West Yorkshire, might make the same. What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. Work on the vehicle often needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or company agreements. Sorting it before the van arrives is faster, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Keep it switched off while the answer arrives, whether you are parked at Ulleskelf or close to Clifford Memorial. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Clifford? Honestly, the only answer might be that you think so. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia about your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of Bramham Primary School in a hurry, say, or someone's driveway out in Toulston. Meaning? Drips outside the inlet never touch your engine at all. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter. Any AdBlue in that tank would be pulled in by starting the car, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. Next: act as though it went in, then keep the engine off. Phone and give what you saw: we'd rather find a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once the motor has been run. ## What each AdBlue drain around Clifford has in common The job opens identically, whichever your situation. Three questions are asked once our technicians reach your car — at a filling station, a drive, a street beside Methodist Chapel or the car park at The Bay Horse: the liquid, the quantity, and if the motor has run. Over the phone, before anything else, you hear the price, and those replies decide the work too. Emptying your tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more vital after urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, no matter how long you wait. Next is the fuel filter — cleaned, or swapped where needed — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the car. The majority of unrun vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment we get there. Lastly, our technicians start the engine. With fresh diesel in, it runs while our engineers make sure it's running correctly, and then we go. Long-term damage is very unusual if it's spotted soon, and the whole job is done where the vehicle is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Dig out your insurance while we're en route: cover for misfuelling comes included in plenty of policies. ## About Clifford, briefly Clifford is a village situated on the banks of the River Wharfe in West Yorkshire, with a population of around 1100 residents.
