Everything turns on a single fact: if your motor has started after the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. Wherever your vehicle stands — Glyn-neath, Cwmgwrach — don't run an engine that has not run yet. Normally this is draining and properly purging it right there around Cwmgwrach — and so keep your key and motor off then call 0333 366 0103. Pull over the minute you safely can then switch off, if it has been run. The job is bigger, but the first step is the same. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever in Neath Port Talbot it happened. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Cwmgwrach forecourt The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you are standing at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Maybe you're at the Texaco, maybe at the Esso, possibly somewhere else around Cwmgwrach. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it gets. Still inside the tank, with no fuel pulled through: that is where the AdBlue sits. What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the petrol pump. Ask the attendants to help you roll the vehicle into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. Draining it right at the petrol pump is fine when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## Cwmgwrach, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank On the dash, a reminder had been lit all week. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look a second time at the cap. It occurs on driveways just off Heol-Wenallt as often as anywhere. Meaning? Provided your vehicle has not moved since, it is second to the forecourt case. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of the tank and remains put, no matter how long it waits. Next: the keys in the house, so nobody takes the car off at breakfast. After that, phone. Blaengwrach or Cwmgwrach: wherever your driveway is, that's where it gets emptied. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel around Cwmgwrach? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Somewhere along School Street or heading to Swansea — under 25 miles away. The point: the system has pulled AdBlue through already. It has been through the filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. Each restart, like every mile, pushes it on. Pull in safely — that is the first step — then turn everything off. Cwmgwrach lies under 15 miles from the M4; there, pull off at the next junction rather than pushing on for the services. It will not have cleared, so there's no sense starting it again to check. About how far did it go? Tell us when you call. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You've had this vehicle barely a week. Unknown to you, the two fillers are side by side here — not like your own car, which has none or stores it in another spot. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Neath Port Talbot. Put simply: one extra stage on top of the situations above, which depend on if it's run. Any work on the car frequently requires the owner's approval under rental or company terms. Next: phone the rental company or your fleet manager first, then us — settling it before our arrival is quicker. Stranded by St Mary's Church or at Treherbert till someone answers, your vehicle remains switched off the whole time. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Cwmgwrach? "I think so" is often the most honest answer there is. A faint ammonia whiff lingers near the filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is a blur. The gates of the local primary school in a hurry, say, or someone's driveway over in Pontwalby. Put simply: spillage near your filler leaves the engine unharmed. The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is a different story. Any AdBlue in the tank would be sucked in by turning on the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. Your move: act as if it did, and don't start the motor. Describe what you saw on your phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a happier outcome than an already-run one drained. ## Each AdBlue drain around Cwmgwrach shares these steps The job begins identically, whatever your case. Anywhere your car stands — The Dunraven's car park, a road beside Vale of Neath Leisure Centre, a drive, a filling station — our van gets there and we ask about the liquid, the quantity, and whether the motor has turned over. On the phone, before anything else, you hear our price, and those answers shape the job too. A thorough flush follows this drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it's crucial, because crystals build up and some metals corrode, and neither washes out unaided. Next comes the filter — flushed, or replaced where necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the vehicle. If the motor has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there. Finally, we start it. Our test that it runs properly on clean diesel comes before we leave. Permanent damage is very uncommon if it is noticed quickly, and the entire job is done where the car is. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what your insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling, so look at yours while the van travels. ## About Cwmgwrach and where it is Cwmgwrach is a small village in Neath Port Talbot, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 58 metres.
