# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Currian Vale, and What to Do Next

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: whether your motor has run since it was put in.

Out in Nanpean or here around Currian Vale, an unrun motor should remain that way.

Ring 0333 366 0103 with your key and engine both off. In Currian Vale, such a case is generally emptied and flushed where it stands.

Pull over the moment it is safe and turn off, if it has already run.

A larger job, yes, but the same opening step.

Below: the situations we meet, anywhere across Cornwall. Pick the one that fits.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Currian Vale forecourt

Only now, nozzle yet in your hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump.

It could be the the nearest petrol station, or the Esso, or a different forecourt in Currian Vale.

What it means: this is the best location to find out.

Only your tank has AdBlue; not one component past it has drawn it in.

What to do: don't get back in and crank it to clear the petrol pump.

Three jobs: a shove into a bay with the staff helping, the receipt kept, and a ring to us from where you stand.

The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed away is emptied right at the pump.

## Currian Vale, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank

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

A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the driveway — and it was only at the recycling that the cap got your eye.

Drives near Crown Road get it as much as anywhere.

Put simply: if your vehicle has not been driven since, it is almost equal to finding out at the pump.

On the floor of that tank is exactly where AdBlue stays, because it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference.

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

Our technicians drain it on your driveway, whether that's around Currian Vale or out in Whitemoor.

The pumping kit works quietly enough that it won't wake the neighbours at night.

## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Currian Vale?

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

It might have been driving for Truro, under 15 miles away, or just along Dorminack Close.

Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue up.

The high-pressure pump and every injector see it too on a longer run, once the filter and pipework have had it.

More miles, more restarts: further it travels.

Pull in safely — that is the first job — then switch it off.

On the M5, over 50 miles from Currian Vale, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself.

Call us and say how far you travelled.

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

You've had this car barely a week.

Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers are next to each other here — unlike your own car, which has none or keeps it in another spot.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Cornwall.

Put simply: one extra stage on top of the cases above, which depend on if it has run.

Work on your vehicle often needs the owner's approval under rental or fleet agreements.

Settling it before we turn up is faster, and so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, then us.

Waiting for an answer in the car park at Roche, or beside St George? Leave the engine off throughout.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around Currian Vale

Truthfully, the only answer might be that you think so.

A faint ammonia smell hangs near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall.

Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Whitemoor Academy, or on a friend's drive in Enniscaven.

The upshot: the motor is not hurt by a little AdBlue splashed around the outside.

If it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes.

Starting the vehicle won't tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it would draw it in.

Next: act as though it got in, and keep the engine off.

Tell us what you noticed on the phone. A clear tank checked is a happier outcome than a run one emptied.

## Every AdBlue drain in Currian Vale shares these steps

Every case has the same opening to the job.

Forecourt, drive, Granville Arms's car park or a road beside St Denys — our van comes to your car, and three answers follow: what fluid, what amount, and whether it ran.

Replies shape the work; the price comes on the call whilst nobody has set off yet.

AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to certain metals in fuel systems, so it does not rinse out unaided; that's why a full flush, after this drain, matters far more here than with petrol.

Then comes the fuel filter — cleaned, or swapped where necessary — then clean diesel, and a test of your vehicle.

If your motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there.

Lastly, our technicians fire it up.

Our engineers check it runs properly on clean diesel before we go.

The whole job is done where the car is, and if it is noticed soon, permanent damage is very unusual.

For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money upfront.

Dig out your insurance before we arrive: cover for misfuelling comes included in many policies.
