AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Fourlane Ends All of it hinges on a single detail: whether your motor has started since the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Out in Norton Hammer or here in Fourlane Ends, an unrun engine must stay that way. Call 0333 366 0103 with the key and motor still off. Across Fourlane Ends, such a case is generally drained and cleaned where it stands. Stop the moment you safely can and turn off, if it has already run. The job is bigger, but the first step is the same. Further down: the cases we meet, anywhere around South Yorkshire. Pick yours. ## Fourlane Ends forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Picture it: standing by the pump, gripping the nozzle, you spot the filler you took off wasn't the right one. Somewhere in Fourlane Ends, then — Esso, The Log Shop, or anywhere else close by. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it can be. Just the tank holds AdBlue; no part past it has taken any in. Your move: stay out of the driver's seat, however much the pump needs clearing. A few jobs: a shove into a space with the attendants assisting, the receipt kept, and a ring to us from the forecourt. Can't move the vehicle by the pump? Explosion-proof equipment makes a busy forecourt sensible, so it can be drained in place. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Fourlane Ends drive? For days the dash had been nagging you. Only by the recycling, the empty container in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you had opened at the driveway. Right off Derbyshire Lane is no different from anywhere. The upshot: no miles since makes this almost as good to finding it at the petrol pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the floor of your tank and stays put, no matter how long it waits. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call. In Norton Lees or right here in Fourlane Ends, the draining is done at your driveway. Late-night empties beside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel in Fourlane Ends? A short way after filling up, the engine began misbehaving: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on the dash. Maybe heading to Sheffield, under 3 miles away, or simply down Scarsdale Road. The upshot: the system has pulled AdBlue through already. Distance sets how deep it goes: filter and lines first, then the injection pump and each injector. More miles, more starts: further it goes. What to do: pull over where it's safe to do so then switch off. Service stations farther along can wait: from the M1, under 10 miles out of Fourlane Ends, take the next junction. Don't restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. About how far did it gone? Say so when you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car It's a motor you have had for a week. The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Across South Yorkshire, nobody is immune. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more step. The owner often has to sign off the work, under many rental and company contracts. Do this: hire firm or your fleet manager first, us next, because sorting it beforehand saves time. Leave the vehicle off as the answer arrives, even if you're waiting at Dore & Totley or near St Paul's. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in Fourlane Ends Honestly, the best answer may be that you think so. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's 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 Woodseats Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Meersbrook. What it means: a little spilled about the filler does no damage to the motor. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will suck in any AdBlue that is in your tank. What to do: treat it as if it went in. Do not start it. Ring and give the details: we'd sooner find a tank free of AdBlue than drain one once your motor has been run. ## What each AdBlue drain in Fourlane Ends has in common The work opens the same way, whatever the case. Wherever your vehicle is — The Cross Scythes's car park, a road by Woodseats Baptist Church, a drive, a filling station — the van arrives and asks about the liquid, the amount, plus whether your engine has been run. Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you are told the quote, and those replies shape the work too. Then that tank is emptied and the system purged 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 does not rinse out on its own. The filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Where the motor hasn't run, allow roughly half an hour on site, for most cases. Firing it up comes last. Our check that it runs correctly on new diesel comes before our technicians head off. Our engineers do the entire job where the car is, and long-term damage is very unusual if it has been caught early. Paying is on the day, never in advance.
