Be it BP, Tesco or anywhere else around Dormanstown, the case is the same. In short: no better place to be to discover it. The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. What to do: don't get back in and start it to clear the pump. Ring us from the forecourt after your vehicle is in a bay — the staff will lend a hand to push it — then save the bottle.

The upshot: your system has pulled AdBlue in by now. Distance decides how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. It goes further with every extra mile covered and every restart. Stop somewhere safe — that is the next step — then turn everything off. Services further on can wait: on the A1(M), under 25 miles out of Dormanstown, use the first junction. Starting it again to check gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself.

In your diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. If there is AdBlue in that tank, firing up your car will pull it in, and it would not tell you which either.

We come to the vehicle, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside the pub in the village or a side street near The four seals, and ask three things: what got in, roughly how much, and whether your motor has run. Those answers settle the work, and you hear the quote on the phone, before anyone sets off. Draining the tank comes first, then a full flush — more important after urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, however long you wait. The fuel filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. Where the motor has not been started, expect roughly half an hour on site, for most jobs. The last step is starting the car. Our engineers check it runs smoothly on clean diesel before we leave. Lasting damage is very unusual when it's spotted quickly, and the entire job is done where the vehicle is. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, nothing in advance.
