Dewlands Common: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue got in? This one question decides nearly everything about what comes next. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is in Dewlands Common itself or out in Whitmore. Normally that is draining and properly purging it on the spot in Dewlands Common — so leave your ignition and motor off then phone 0333 366 0103. Pull over the minute you safely can and switch off, if it has been run. Step one remains the same, even though the job is bigger.
Match your case to one of the ones below, anywhere across Dorset you are.
On a Dewlands Common forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Picture it: standing by the pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the cap you opened was not the correct one. It could be the Morrisons, or the Shell Verwood, or another forecourt around Dewlands Common.
Put simply: no better spot exists to spot it. Nothing has drawn it through, and so the AdBlue stays only inside your tank.
What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the petrol pump. Have the attendants to help rolling it to a bay, hold on to the bottle, then phone us right there. If it cannot be moved, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a working forecourt.
AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Dewlands Common
Days had passed with the dash light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Just off Hayward Way is not different from anywhere.
What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. As it is unable to blend, AdBlue settles to the base inside the tank and stays. A night standing changes none of that.
Next: stop any early drive by putting your keys in the house, then ring us. Your driveway is where it is drained, whether around Dewlands Common or Verwood. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.
Dewlands Common: set off with AdBlue in a diesel?
Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a glowing dashboard arrived a short way after the top-up. Horton Way, perhaps, or the route towards Salisbury — a run of under 15 miles.
Meaning? Your fuel pump has taken the AdBlue in. Mileage sets how far it gets: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. It travels further with each mile driven and every restart.
Do this: stop anywhere sensible, then switch your engine off. Services further along can wait: from the M27, under 15 miles out of Dewlands Common, take the next junction. Do not restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Tell us hear the mileage driven as you ring.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
It is a car you have had for a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is right next to your diesel inlet — news to you. Throughout Dorset, no one is safe from it.
What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on your car.
What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before our technicians get there than after. If you are stranded in the car park at Bournemouth, or by Saint Michael & All Angels, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.
Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Dewlands Common?
Honestly, the only answer might be that you think so. Which cap came off, you cannot recall; but the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by the filler. The gates of Verwood Church of England First School in a rush, say, or a friend's driveway over in Horton Common.
Meaning? Spills around the inlet don't reach the engine at all. Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, it does. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on your car would draw it in, and it would not tell you which either.
Next: act as though it went in, then leave the motor off. Phone with what you saw: we would sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once the engine has been run.
Dewlands Common: what every AdBlue drain has in common
Whichever scenario you are in, the job starts the same way. Three questions are asked once our technicians reach the car — at a forecourt, a driveway, a street by Verwood Hub or the car park outside Monmouth Ash: the liquid, the quantity, and if the motor has run. Over the phone, before dispatch, you hear our quote, and those answers decide the work too.
A thorough flush follows this drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it is essential, since crystals build up and some metals corrode, and neither washes away unaided. The filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. The majority of unrun vehicles are a half-hour visit after the moment our technicians arrive.
Firing it up comes last. Before our technicians head off, it's checked to confirm it runs properly on new diesel. The whole job is done where your car is, and if it is caught soon, permanent damage is very uncommon. Paying is that day, never in advance. For the insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way.
