# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Coughton Fields: What Now?

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if your engine has been run since it got in.

Over in Kings Coughton or here in Coughton Fields, an unrun engine should remain that way.

Usually that is emptying and properly cleaning it right there in Coughton Fields — and so keep the key and engine off then phone 0333 366 0103.

If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off.

The job is bigger, but the first step is the same.

Anywhere in Warwickshire it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.

## At the pump around Coughton Fields: AdBlue in a diesel

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

Maybe you are at the Gulf, perhaps at the BP, perhaps somewhere else in Coughton Fields.

The point: of all places to notice, this is the best.

The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in.

Do this: keep out of the car, however much the pump wants freeing.

Ask the staff to help you push your car into a parking bay, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt.

Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a car that cannot be pushed away is drained right at the petrol pump.

## At home around Coughton Fields with AdBlue in the diesel tank

On the dash, a warning had been lit for days.

Only by the recycling, the empty container in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you had used on the driveway.

Drives near Coughton Fields Lane see it as much as any other street.

The upshot: zero miles since makes it nearly equal to finding it at the pump.

On the bottom of that tank sits where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference.

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

Our engineers drain it on your drive, whether that is around Coughton Fields or out in Kinwarton.

Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a residential street.

## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel in Coughton Fields?

Topped up, pulled away, and soon your motor was running roughly, blowing smoke, down on power, or lighting up the dash.

Maybe heading for Worcester, under 25 miles away, or just down Arden Forest Way.

Put simply: the AdBlue has been sucked through the fuel system.

Distance sets how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

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

Coughton Fields sits under 10 miles from the M40; on it, come off at the next junction rather than pressing on for the services.

It will not have cleared, so there's no point starting it again to find out.

Call, saying how far your car was driven.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

A week back, it was new to you.

Unknown to you, the two inlets are next to each other here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or keeps it in another spot.

Across Warwickshire, nobody is immune.

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

Work on your vehicle frequently needs the owner's approval under hire or company agreements.

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

Hanging on for an answer in the car park outside Wootton Wawen, or near St Peter & St Paul & St Elizabeth? Leave your car off meanwhile.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in Coughton Fields

"I think so" is sometimes as honest as it gets.

What cap was taken off, you can't recall; but the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by your filler.

It might have been on a friend's driveway in Alne End, or in a rush outside St Nicholas CofE Primary on the school run.

What it means: a little spilled about the filler does no harm to the engine.

In the diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it.

If there is AdBlue in the tank, turning on the car would draw it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

Your move: act as though it did, and don't start your motor.

Ring us and describe what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.

## What each AdBlue drain in Coughton Fields has in common

Every case gets the same start to the work.

Anywhere your vehicle is — Moat House Inn's car park, a street beside Alcester's Positivity Rockline, a drive, a filling station — our van gets there and we ask about the liquid, the amount, and whether the motor has been run.

Those answers determine the work, and you get the quote by phone, before anyone sets off.

Draining that tank comes next, then a full flush — more vital with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go on their own, no matter how long it sits.

Finally are the filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; fresh diesel; and a check of the car.

Not started? Then roughly half an hour on site covers most jobs.

We fire it up at the end.

With new diesel in, it runs while our engineers confirm it's running properly, and then we leave.

Lasting damage is very unusual if it's spotted early, and the entire job is done where your car is.

You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer.

Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels.
