Dolcliffe Common: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Everything turns on a single fact: whether your engine has been run after the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is around Dolcliffe Common itself or out in Old Denaby. Leave your motor and the ignition off and phone 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Dolcliffe Common. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. A larger job, yes, yet the identical opening step.
Anywhere in South Yorkshire it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.
At the petrol pump in Dolcliffe Common: AdBlue in a diesel
Imagine it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the cap you opened wasn't the right one. Whether JET, TotalEnergies or anywhere else in Dolcliffe Common, the case is identical.
Meaning? Spotting it here is as good as it can be. The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in.
Next: avoid the temptation to fire it up just to free up the petrol pump. A few jobs: a push into a space with the attendants helping, the bottle saved, and a call to us from where you stand. Emptying it right at the pump is possible if it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Dolcliffe Common
The warning light had been on for days. Only by the recycling, the empty container in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you had opened at the drive. Drives near Orchard Close get it as much as any other street.
Meaning? As long as the car has not been driven since, it's close to the pump case. As it is reluctant to mix, AdBlue drops to the base in the tank and stays. A night parked alters none of that.
What to do: leave the keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then ring. Our engineers drain the car on your drive, whether that is around Dolcliffe Common or out in Mexborough. Late-night drains outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet.
On the road in Dolcliffe Common with AdBlue in a diesel
Lumpy running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard started a short way beyond the fill. It might have been heading to Doncaster, under 10 miles away, or simply down Garden Street.
The point: the system has drawn AdBlue in by now. It's been through the fuel filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and the injectors. Each restart, like each mile, carries it deeper.
Next: pick a safe place, pull in, and turn the motor off. Services further on can wait: from the M18, under 5 miles out of Dolcliffe Common, take the next junction. No trial starts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue will do. Call, saying what distance your vehicle went.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
You've had this car hardly a week. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout South Yorkshire, no one is immune.
The point: just as above, split by if it ran, only with one added step. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the vehicle.
Next: phone the rental company or the fleet manager first, then us — settling it before our arrival is quicker. If you are stuck in the car park at Mexborough, or by Henry (Harry) Dobson, while you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.
Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Dolcliffe Common?
Honestly, the best answer may be that you think so. Too light, the bottle; a hint of ammonia round the filler; a hazy memory of the cap. Sound familiar? Maybe at a friend's drive in Bow Broom, or in a rush by Montagu Academy at the school run.
Meaning? Spills outside the inlet never reach your engine at all. In your diesel tank, however, AdBlue damages it. Any AdBlue in that tank would be sucked in by turning on the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case.
Next: assume it went in, and keep your motor off. Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than emptying one after it's been run — so phone then tell us what you noticed.
What every AdBlue drain in Dolcliffe Common has in common
Whatever the case, one opening is used. Our technicians come to the car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at Boy & Barrel or a side street close to Mexborough Market, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and whether the motor has run. Those answers settle this work, and you hear the price on the phone, before anybody sets off.
Then the tank is cleared and the fuel system cleaned thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it does not rinse out on its own. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Not started? Then about half an hour once we are there covers most jobs.
The final step is firing it up. With fresh diesel in, it runs while we make sure it's running smoothly, and then we leave. The entire job is done where the car is, and if it is noticed quickly, long-term damage is very uncommon. Nothing is paid upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Worth remembering: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy as we travel pays.
