# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Furzton Lake, and What to Do Next

All of that hinges on a single fact: if the motor has started after the AdBlue went in — more than anything else.

Not run so far? Then keep it that way, wherever the vehicle is — Furzton Lake or The Bowl.

Phone 0333 366 0103 with the key and engine both off. Across Furzton Lake, such a case is generally emptied and cleaned on the spot.

If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off.

It is a bigger job, though stage one doesn't change.

Further down: the cases our engineers meet, wherever across Buckinghamshire. Choose the one that fits.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Furzton Lake forecourt

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.

Whether Shell, BP or somewhere else around Furzton Lake, the situation is identical.

What it means: this is the ideal place to find out.

Still inside that tank, and no fuel pulled through: that is where the AdBlue sits.

Clearing the pump is no reason to run it — so don't get back in.

A few jobs: a push into a space with the attendants assisting, the bottle saved, and a call to us from where you stand.

If it can't be shifted, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Furzton Lake drive?

On the dash, a reminder had shown all week.

You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look a second time at the cap.

It occurs on drives just off V4 Watling Street as frequently as anywhere.

Meaning? Provided the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it is second to the forecourt case.

Diesel and AdBlue stay apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of the tank and stays there, no matter how long the night.

Next: prevent any early move by keeping your keys in the house, then phone us.

Shenley Lodge or Furzton Lake: whichever your driveway sits, that's where it is emptied.

The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.

## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Furzton Lake?

A short way beyond filling up, the engine began playing up: roughness, smoke, lost power, warnings on your dash.

The Bowl Roundabout, say, or the way towards Milton Keynes — a trip of under 3 miles.

Meaning? Your fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue in.

Distance sets how deep it gets: filter and lines first, then the high-pressure pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

What to do: pull over where it's safe and switch off.

On the M1, under 5 miles from Furzton Lake, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

It will not have cleared, and so there is no sense starting it again to check.

Call, saying how far the car went.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

You've had the vehicle hardly a week.

The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Buckinghamshire.

What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step.

Many hire and company agreements want the owner to approve work on the car.

What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before we arrive than after.

Stuck near Sundial or outside Milton Keynes Central till someone answers, the car stays switched off throughout.

## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Furzton Lake?

Honestly, the only answer may be that you think so.

Too light, the bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; no clear memory of the cap. Look familiar?

The gates of Caroline Haslett Primary School in a hurry, say, or someone's drive over in Elfield Park.

Meaning? Spills outside the filler don't reach your motor at all.

A diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another story.

Turning on the vehicle won't tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it will pull it in.

What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't crank it.

Describe what you saw on the phone. A clear tank looked at is a happier outcome than an already-run one drained.

## Each AdBlue drain in Furzton Lake shares these steps

Every situation has the same start to the job.

Our technicians come to the vehicle, whether it's at a forecourt, a drive, the car park at Furzton Lake - Hungry Horse or a side street close to Shenley Lodge Meeting Place, and ask three things: what was put in, roughly how much, and if the motor has run.

Answers shape the job; the quote follows on the call whilst nobody has set off yet.

A thorough flush follows this drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it is essential, because crystals form and certain metals corrode, and none of that rinses out unaided.

Next comes the filter — cleaned, or replaced where needed — then clean diesel, and a test of your car.

Never started? Then roughly half an hour once we are there is most jobs.

Firing it up comes last.

Before we leave, it is tested to be sure it runs smoothly on new diesel.

Our technicians do the whole job where your car is, and long-term damage is very uncommon when it has been noticed quickly.

Nothing is taken upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you get what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

Many policies cover misfuelling, so check yours as we head over.
