In that case set this page down a moment, keep the ignition and engine off, then call 0333 366 0103. Usually, when the engine has not run, it's emptied and thoroughly flushed where the car is in Dyffryn. Here in advance? Then the rest covers how it comes about and how to stop it ever happening. ## Why does AdBlue in a diesel motor need its own filler? Many newer diesels in Penyraber, like those in Dyffryn, run on two liquids; your motor gets just your diesel. AdBlue's own tank holds it, and from there it goes to the exhaust, where a spray treats the gas. Different tanks, separate fillers. Under one flap, next to each other: that's the arrangement on a lot of vehicles. Elsewhere, AdBlue's filler sits under the bonnet or in your boot instead. Diesel gets filled at every filling station call-out, again and again. The AdBlue side is filled far less frequently, normally from a bottle, and normally by a person who has to stop and think where it goes. It's in the gap that the error lives. ## Dyffryn: how AdBlue in the diesel tank takes place Carelessness seldom causes it. Instead is three things lining up together. The warning comes first. As AdBlue runs low your car tells you, and if it runs out altogether, the vehicle drops into limp mode. So the top-up is done in a hurry: on a drive off Troed y Rhiw before work, or in the car park outside Hope and Anchor on the way home. The old car's cap is where the hand reaches — yet a hire car, a new car or a company car keeps the fillers elsewhere. That is the second factor: an unfamiliar car. Nothing stops the tip once it has started, because a bottle with a spout goes into a diesel filler as easily as an AdBlue one. The bottle fits. The same few seconds settle it, in the middle of Dyffryn or out in Manorowen. ## The AdBlue filler and your diesel filler: telling them apart Look at these first, at a forecourt in Dyffryn or a drive over in Harbour Village. A few seconds, no more. - Read the cap rather than going by where it sits: AdBlue ones are regularly blue or marked "AdBlue", and diesel ones usually are not. - Plenty of vehicles fit AdBlue the smaller filler of the two. - The flap. Look inside the fuel flap for a label. Plenty of motors say there which fuel goes where. - The handbook shows which it lives when your filler is not next to your diesel cap: your boot, or under the bonnet. - Check with the person who drove it last — before you leave, not when the light comes on — when you pick up a hire or company car from somewhere like the car park at Fishguard & Goodwick. ## Keeping AdBlue out of your diesel tank when you top up A routine for the day the light comes on, wherever across Pembrokeshire that is. - Switch off after you park — level ground, engine stopped, and never in a rush beside Allt Y Carne on the verge. - Find the AdBlue filler and read the cap. Say "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew it. It sounds daft and it does the trick. - If both sit under one flap, check the diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — then leave the car on. - Gently does it, through the bottle's own spout, until it is full or the bottle is empty. - Only after that, start your car: close the cap, check again, and make sure your diesel cap was never opened. If at stage two or three you find you have already poured into the diesel side, stop there. Never go on to stage five. ## Dyffryn: already put AdBlue in your diesel tank? The short order of things, starting with no starting the motor. Leave the ignition off too, because on plenty of diesels switching it on alone runs your pump. AdBlue does not mix with diesel — it sinks to the bottom of the tank, where your fuel is sucked from — so don't top up with diesel to dilute it. On a forecourt — Esso, another forecourt nearby or any other — the attendants will normally help push your car away, when you ask. If you're on your own driveway around Dyffryn, leave it where it is. If your engine has already run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. On the M4, under 50 miles from Dyffryn, that means the next junction. A short hop across Dyffryn is a smaller job than a run towards St Davids, under 15 miles away, and so tell us roughly how far it went. ## Our arrival around Dyffryn, and what takes place next The van reaches your car anywhere it stopped — your own driveway, near Phoenix Community Centre, or outside the local primary school. Both the work and the quote rest on three replies — what fluid, which quantity, and whether it has run — so our engineers ask. On the call itself, you hear our quote — before dispatch. Draining the tank comes next, then a thorough flush of the system. More than with petrol, it counts here: the crystals form, certain metals are attacked, and none of that washes away on its own, however long it is left. After your filter is flushed — or replaced, if needed — fresh diesel goes in, and finally your car gets tested. After that we fire it up and make sure it runs properly before leaving. If the engine has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there, using pumps that are fine on a busy forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. It's worth looking at your policy as the van travels to you: misfuelling cover comes with plenty of policies. ## About Dyffryn and where it is Dyffryn is a small coastal suburban area in Pembrokeshire, situated near the towns of Goodwick and St Davids.
