--- title: Edgwick: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank, What Next canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/edgwick-west-midlands/ location: Edgwick county: West Midlands latitude: 52.430410 longitude: -1.492570 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-10 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Edgwick: What Now? Has the motor turned over since the AdBlue was put in? That single question settles almost everything else from here. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is around Edgwick itself or out in Court House Green. Leave the motor and your ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it is generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Edgwick. Already started? Pull over when safe, then switch it off. It is a bigger job, though step one does not change. Anywhere across West Midlands it took place, one of the cases below matches yours. ## On a Edgwick forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel You are at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Be it Texaco, BP or somewhere else in Edgwick, the situation is identical. Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is the best it gets. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in. Do this: keep out of the car, even if the queue wants freeing. Ask the attendants to help you push your car into a parking spot, keep the till receipt or the bottle, and phone us from the forecourt. Stuck by the petrol pump? Explosion-proof kit keeps a busy forecourt sensible, and so it can be drained in place. ## At home in Edgwick with AdBlue in the diesel tank Several days had gone by with the warning light on. A bottle bought at the shop, tipped in at the driveway — and it was just by the recycling that the cap got your eye. It takes place on driveways just off Eld Road as frequently as anywhere. Meaning? Provided your vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's second to the pump case. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Next: stop any early-morning move by keeping the keys indoors, then phone us. We drain the car on your driveway, whether that's in Edgwick or out in Paradise. Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a residential street. ## Edgwick: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? Filled up, pulled away, and soon the engine was turning roughly, smoking, down on power, or flashing up the dash. Anywhere on Princess Street or else on the road to Coventry — under 3 miles away. What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in. Through the filter, along the pipework, and — the further the mileage — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. It travels deeper with each extra mile covered and each restart. Stop safely — that is the first step — then turn it off. Service stations further on can wait: on the M6, under 3 miles out of Edgwick, take the first junction. Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Call, and say how far your car was driven. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? It is a car you have had for a week. Unknown to you, the two inlets are side by side here — not like your own car, which has no AdBlue or keeps it in another spot. Any driver, anywhere around West Midlands, might make it. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. Work on the vehicle often requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or company agreements. Next: ring the rental company or the fleet manager first, and then us — settling it before we arrive is quicker. Stranded by Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh Sabha or at Coventry Arena till the firm replies, your vehicle stays turned off the whole time. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Edgwick? At times, "I think so" is the most anyone can truthfully say. A faint ammonia-like whiff hangs around the filler, the bottle feels too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall. Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at St Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Foleshill. Meaning? Spills outside the filler don't touch the motor at all. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. You can't tell which by turning the key, and doing so would pull in any AdBlue that is in that tank. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't fire it up. Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank checked is a better outcome than an already-run one drained. ## Every AdBlue drain around Edgwick shares these steps The job begins the same way, whichever the situation. Our technicians come to the vehicle, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside Foleshill Ex Service Mens Club or a side street close to Indian Community Centre Association, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and if the motor has been run. Those replies determine this work, and you hear the price by phone, before anyone heads out. Then that tank is cleared and the fuel system flushed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Then comes the filter — flushed, or swapped where necessary — then fresh diesel, and a test of your car. Where the motor hasn't run, allow about half an hour on site, for most jobs. Firing it up comes at the end. With clean diesel in, it runs while we confirm it's running correctly, and then we leave. The entire job is done where the vehicle is, and if it is caught soon, long-term damage is very rare. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Check your insurance before we're en route: cover for misfuelling is included in many policies. ## About Edgwick Edgwick is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Coventry, beside the River Sowe in the West Midlands.
