--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Fosse Park: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/fosse-park-leicestershire/ location: Fosse Park county: Leicestershire latitude: 52.597360 longitude: -1.182540 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-12 --- # Fosse Park: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue got in? That one point decides almost everything else from here. Not run yet? Then leave it that way, whether the vehicle sits — Fosse Park or Enderby. Leave your motor and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it is generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is around Fosse Park. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. It is a bigger job, though step one does not change. Further down: the situations our engineers see, wherever around Leicestershire. Choose yours. ## At the pump in Fosse Park: AdBlue in a diesel You're 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. It could be the Sainsbury's, or the Asda, or a different forecourt around Fosse Park. Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is as good as it gets. The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. What to do: do not get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Ring us from the forecourt once the vehicle sits in a bay — the attendants will help roll it — and keep the receipt. Can't move the vehicle beside the pump? Explosion-proof equipment makes a live forecourt safe, so we can drain it in place. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Fosse Park drive? On your dash, a warning had shown all week. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Driveways near Narborough Road South get it as much as anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue settles to the floor of the tank and stays there, however long it waits. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then ring. Your drive is where it is drained, whether around Fosse Park or Glen Parva. Late-night empties beside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet. ## Fosse Park: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? Rough running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard arrived a short way beyond the top-up. Lubbesthorpe Way, say, or the route towards Leicester — a run of under 5 miles. The point: your system has drawn AdBlue in already. It's been through your filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Pull in safely — that is the next job — then turn everything off. Service stations farther along can wait: from the M1, under a mile out of Fosse Park, take the next junction. No trial starts: clearing isn't something AdBlue will do. About how far had it go? Tell us when you phone. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank A week back, it was unknown to you. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers sit next to each other here — not like your own car, which has none or stores it elsewhere. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Leicestershire. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. The owner frequently needs to sign off any work, under plenty of rental and fleet contracts. Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us next, since sorting it beforehand saves time. Waiting for a reply in the car park outside Narborough, or near TK Maxx? Keep the engine off throughout. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Fosse Park "I think so" is sometimes the most honest as it gets. Which cap was taken off, you cannot say; meanwhile the bottle weighs lighter than expected, and a whiff of ammonia lingers by your filler. A rushed stop by the gates of Millfield L.E.A.D. Academy, or a call to a friend in King Street Buildings: either fit. Put simply: a spill near your filler leaves your engine no harm. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in the tank, starting your car would suck it in, and it would not tell you which either. Next: assume it got in, then leave your motor off. Inspecting a tank that proves clean beats draining one after it has been run — so ring then tell us what you saw. ## The common ground in every Fosse Park AdBlue drain Every situation gets the same start to the work. Forecourt, driveway, Everards Beer Hall's car park or a street beside Marks & Spencer — our van reaches your car, and three answers follow: which liquid, which quantity, and if it has run. On the phone, before anything else, you are told the quote, and those replies shape the work too. A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, because crystals form and certain metals are attacked, and neither washes away unaided. Next comes your filter — cleaned, or replaced where needed — followed by fresh diesel, and a test of your car. The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment our technicians get there. Finally, our technicians start the car. Our check that it runs correctly on fresh diesel comes before we go. The whole job is done where your car is, and if it is noticed early, permanent damage is very uncommon. Paying comes on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, so look at yours while the van travels. ## About Fosse Park, briefly Fosse Park is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Leicester, near the River Soar, with a mix of residential and commercial properties.
