What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Easter Langlee
Has your motor turned over since the AdBlue went in? This one question decides almost everything else from here. Over in Netherdale or right in Easter Langlee, an unstarted motor should remain that way. Usually that means emptying and thoroughly cleaning it on the spot in Easter Langlee — so leave your key and motor off and call 0333 366 0103. Already started? Stop when safe, then switch everything off. A larger job, yes, yet the identical opening move.
Anywhere in Scottish Borders it took place, one of the situations below fits yours.
AdBlue in a diesel on a Easter Langlee forecourt
Only now, bottle yet in hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the petrol pump. Whether Esso, BP or anywhere else in Easter Langlee, the situation is the same.
What it means: this is the best location to find out. Still in the tank, with nothing pulled onwards: that is where the AdBlue is.
What to do: do not get back in and start the vehicle to clear the petrol pump. Ring us from the forecourt once your vehicle is in a bay — the attendants will help roll it — and keep the receipt. Draining it there at the petrol pump is possible when it can't be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Easter Langlee
The warning light had been on for days. A bottle from the shop, emptied in at the driveway — and it's only at the bin that the cap caught your eye. It takes place on driveways just off Eildon Lodge Gardens as commonly as anywhere.
What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Being unable to mix, AdBlue drops low inside your tank and stays. A night parked alters none of that.
Next: prevent any early drive by putting the keys in the house, then phone us. Our technicians drain the car on your driveway, whether that's in Easter Langlee or out in Lowood. Night-time clears beside a house are no problem: the pumps are low-noise.
Easter Langlee: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?
You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Perhaps it was on Melrose Road, possibly on the way out towards Edinburgh, under 50 miles away.
Meaning? The pump has taken the AdBlue up. It's been through the filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and your injectors. More miles, more starts: deeper it travels.
Stop safely — that's the first job — then turn it off. Easter Langlee sits under 50 miles from the M8; there, pull off at the first junction instead of pushing on for the services. Restarting it to test gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Call, and say what distance your car was driven.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles
You've had this vehicle barely a week. Unknown to you, the two inlets are side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or keeps it in another spot. Anyone, wherever around Scottish Borders, could do the same.
What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Work on your vehicle often needs the owner's go-ahead under rental or fleet agreements.
Next: ring the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — settling it before our arrival is quicker. Stranded by Langlee Community Centre or at Tweedbank until someone replies, the vehicle stays turned off the whole time.
AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, in Easter Langlee
"I think so" is sometimes the most honest answer there is. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at the local primary school, or on a friend's drive in Tweedbank.
Meaning? Spills around the filler don't reach your motor at all. Inside the diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue harms it. If there is AdBlue in the tank, starting your car would draw it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.
Do this: act as if it got in, and never start your engine. Checking a tank that proves clean is better than emptying one after it has been run — so phone then describe to us what you saw.
Every AdBlue drain in Easter Langlee shares these stages
Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Three things are asked once our technicians reach the car — on a filling station, a driveway, a street beside Tweedbank Community Centre or the car park at The Woodcutter: the liquid, the amount, and if the motor has been started. Those answers decide this work, and you get our price on the phone, before anybody sets off.
Emptying the tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more important with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't clear on their own, however long it sits. Finally are your filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; fresh diesel; and a check of the vehicle. Where your engine has not been started, expect roughly half an hour on site, in most jobs.
Last, we fire it up. Before we head off, it's tested to confirm it runs smoothly on new diesel. Permanent damage is very unusual if it's caught quickly, and the whole job is done where your car is. Paying is that day, never upfront. For the insurer, you get a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Many policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours as we head over.
