# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Garden Village

One thing matters most once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is if the motor has been started afterwards.

Anywhere your car stands — Old Rhosrobin, Garden Village — don't start an engine that has not run yet.

Leave your motor and the ignition off then call 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Garden Village.

Already started? Stop once safe, then turn everything off.

The job is bigger, but the first step is the same.

Below: the cases our engineers see, wherever around Wrexham. Choose yours.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Garden Village forecourt

Picture it: standing by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you realise the cap you took off was not the right one.

Whether Smithy View Service Station, Gulf or anywhere else in Garden Village, the case is the same.

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

Still in that tank, with nothing pulled onwards: that is where the AdBlue sits.

Next: avoid the temptation to start it just to free up the pump.

Get the attendants to lend a hand pushing it to a space, hold on to the receipt, then ring us from there.

Stuck by the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof equipment keeps a live forecourt safe, and so it can be drained where it is.

## At home in Garden Village with AdBlue in your diesel tank

The warning light had been on for days.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty bottle in hand, did you glance back at the cap you had opened at the drive.

Houses just off Cunliffe Walk get caught out as often as anywhere else.

What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt.

Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue drops to the base of the tank and remains there, no matter how long it waits.

Next: prevent an early drive by putting the keys in the house, then ring us.

Gardd Estyn or Garden Village: wherever your driveway sits, that is where it gets drained.

Night-time drains beside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet.

## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel in Garden Village?

A short way after topping up, your engine started misbehaving: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on the dash.

Maybe heading to Wrexham, under 3 miles away, or simply along Ffordd Gwynedd.

The point: your system has pulled AdBlue in already.

It has been through your filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors.

Every restart, like each mile, carries it deeper.

Next: pick a sensible place, pull in, then switch the motor off.

Services further on can wait: from the M53, under 15 miles out of Garden Village, use the first junction.

Starting it again to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

About how far had it gone? Tell us as you phone.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

It is a car you have had for a week.

On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or somewhere else. On this one, the cap is just by the diesel inlet — a surprise to you.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Wrexham.

The point: exactly as above, divided by if it ran, but with an added stage.

The owner often has to sign off any work, under many rental and company contracts.

What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before we get there than after.

Leave the car switched off while the reply arrives, even if you are waiting outside Wrexham General or close to Garden Village Institute.

## Garden Village: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Now and then, "I think so" is the most anyone can truthfully say.

A slight ammonia whiff hangs around the filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is a blur.

A hurried top-up by the gates of the local primary school, or a call to a friend in Stansty: either fits.

The point: your engine isn't hurt by some AdBlue spilled on the outside.

Once it's inside your diesel tank, though, that changes.

If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up the vehicle will draw it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

What to do: treat it as if it went in. Don't start it.

Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank looked at is a happier result than a run one emptied.

## Every AdBlue drain in Garden Village shares these steps

Whatever the case, one start applies.

Filling station, driveway, Acton Park's car park or a street by Bethel Presbyterian — our van comes to the car, and three questions come next: which fluid, which quantity, and if it ran.

The price comes over the phone, before a van leaves, and the replies shape the job.

Then the tank is emptied and the system flushed thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it doesn't rinse out on its own.

Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested.

Where your motor hasn't run, allow about half an hour on site, in most cases.

The last step is starting the car.

Our check that it runs properly on clean diesel comes before our technicians leave.

Long-term damage is very rare if it is spotted early, and the whole job is done where your car is.

Paying comes that day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer.

Check your insurance before we arrive: cover for misfuelling is built into plenty of policies.
