Ffynnonau: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
All of that hinges on a single detail: if the motor has started after the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. Not started so far? Then keep it that way, wherever the vehicle sits — Ffynnonau or Dardy. Normally this means emptying and properly cleaning it on the spot around Ffynnonau — so leave the key and engine off and call 0333 366 0103. Already run? Pull over once you safely can, then turn everything off. The job is bigger, yet the first stage is the same.
Match your case to one of the list below, wherever in Powys you happen to be.
Ffynnonau forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
Picture it: standing by the petrol pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the cap you opened was not the right one. Perhaps you are at the Asda Express, perhaps at the Gulf, maybe somewhere else around Ffynnonau.
The upshot: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. Only your tank has AdBlue; no part past it has taken any in.
Your move: keep out of the driver's seat, however much the queue wants freeing. Three jobs: a shove into a space with the attendants helping, the bottle saved, and a call to us from the forecourt. Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away is drained right at the pump.
Ffynnonau, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank
For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, binned the empty — and at that point checked the cap a second time, after the fact. It happens on driveways just off Ffynnonau as often as anywhere.
What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. As it is unable to blend, AdBlue drops low in your tank and stays. A night standing changes nothing.
Next: the keys in the house, and so nobody takes the vehicle anywhere at breakfast. Then, phone. In Danygrug or right here around Ffynnonau, the draining happens at your drive. Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway.
On the road in Ffynnonau with AdBlue in a diesel
Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard arrived a mile or two after the fill. It might have been driving to Newport, under 25 miles away, or simply along Mynydd Gerdd.
Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through the system. Through the fuel filter, through the pipework, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further.
Stop somewhere safe — that's the first step — then switch everything off. Ffynnonau sits under 25 miles from the M4; there, pull off at the next junction rather than pushing on for the services. Do not restart the vehicle to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Let us hear the mileage covered as you call.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
You have only had this car a week. The AdBlue filler is right alongside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Powys.
The point: just as above, divided by if it ran, only with one added stage. The owner frequently has to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and fleet agreements.
Your move: hire firm or fleet manager to begin with, us next, because sorting it beforehand saves time. If you're stranded in the car park at Abergavenny, or by Webbs of Crickhowell, while you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.
AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, in Ffynnonau
At times, "I think so" is all anyone can truthfully say. Lighter, that bottle; a hint of ammonia round your filler; no clear memory of the cap. Look familiar? It might have been on a friend's drive in Ffawyddog, or in a rush outside the local primary school at the school run.
Put simply: spillage near the filler does your engine unharmed. Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, it does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, starting the car would suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.
Do this: act as if it did, and don't start the motor. Describe what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank checked counts as a happier outcome than an already-run one emptied.
The common ground in each Ffynnonau AdBlue drain
No matter the situation, a single opening applies. Our technicians come to the car, whether it is on a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside The Swan Inn or a side street near Memorial Fountain, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and if the engine has been run. Over the phone, before anything else, you hear our quote, and those replies shape the work too.
Draining that tank comes first, then a careful flush — more important after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go on their own, no matter how long it sits. Last are your filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a check of your vehicle. The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment our engineers get there.
Firing it up comes last. Our technicians confirm it runs properly on clean diesel before we leave. Our technicians do the entire job where the car is, and lasting damage is very rare if it has been caught quickly. Payment is that day, never upfront. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a written report from the engineer. Check your insurance before we're en route: misfuelling cover is included in many policies.
