AdBlue already in your diesel tank? Then put this page aside for now, leave your ignition and motor off, then call 0333 366 0103. Usually, if your engine hasn't run, it's drained and fully rinsed where your car is around Groes. If you are reading before it has happened, the rest of this page is about why it occurs and how to make sure it does not. ## Why does AdBlue in a diesel car need its own filler? Many newer diesels around Trefechan, like those in Groes, run on two fluids; your engine gets just your diesel. The exhaust, not your engine, is where AdBlue goes: sprayed into the fumes to fresh it, from its own tank. There is a filler on every tank. On a lot of motors the two sit side by side under the same flap; on others the AdBlue filler is in the boot or under the bonnet. Diesel goes in at every forecourt call-out, week in, week out. Far less frequently, the AdBlue side is filled — normally from a bottle, by a person thinking about where it goes. That gap is where the error lives. ## How AdBlue in your diesel tank occurs in Groes Carelessness seldom explains it. Instead is three things coming up together. Haste follows from the warning. The car tells you as AdBlue runs low, and a dry tank puts the vehicle into limp mode — so the top-up happens quickly, before work on a drive off Hall Street, or on the way home in the car park at Black Horse. Next, your hand reaches for the cap it would have used on the old car — because a hire car, a new car or a company car puts the fillers somewhere your last one did not. Third, the bottle fits: a diesel filler or AdBlue filler, it goes in just as easily, and after the pour starts, no part stops it. Pen-y-cae or the middle of Groes: it takes the same few seconds either way. ## How to tell the AdBlue filler from the diesel one A few seconds is all the checks take — so run through them before you tip anything, on a driveway in Pant or a forecourt around Groes. - Read the cap rather than going by position: AdBlue caps are commonly blue or marked "AdBlue", and diesel ones usually aren't. - Many motors fit AdBlue the smaller neck of the two. - Lift the filler flap and look for a label — many vehicles show which goes in which filler just there. - Cannot see it next to the diesel filler? Then check beneath the bonnet or inside the boot — the owner's manual says where. - The person who drove the car last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Ruabon, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## How to top up without AdBlue in the diesel tank For the day the warning appears — wherever you are across Wrexham — a simple routine to follow. - Stop somewhere level, engine off, with time in hand — never rushing on the side of Chapel Street. - Daft as it sounds, saying "AdBlue" aloud as you unscrew the cap works — after you've located your filler and read the cap. - The diesel cap stays on. When both share a flap, make sure it's closed before the bottle comes up. - Slowly does it, through the bottle's own spout, till it's full or the bottle is empty. - Close the cap and check once more. Make sure the diesel cap was never opened. Only then start the car. Spot at stage two or three that it has already gone into your diesel side? Then stop just there. Leave out step five altogether. ## Already put AdBlue in your diesel tank in Groes? What follows is a short order of things, starting with not starting the engine. The fuel pump runs on many diesels the moment the ignition goes on — and so leave it off. AdBlue does not mix with diesel — it sinks to the bottom of that tank, where the fuel is sucked from — so do not top up with diesel to thin it. On a forecourt — BP, Shell or any other — the staff will usually help push the car away, if you ask. At home in Groes? Then the vehicle stays put. Stop as soon as it is safe then switch off, if the motor has already run. The next junction means where to come off when you are on the M53, under 25 miles from Groes. Roughly how far did it go? Hopping across Groes is smaller work than a run of under 5 miles to Wrexham, so say. ## Our arrival in Groes, and what occurs next Our technicians come to the car wherever it has stopped, whether that's outside the local primary school, near Penycae Community Centre or on your own driveway. Those replies settle this work and our price, and so our engineers ask what was put in, about how much, and if it has run. On the phone call itself, you hear the quote — before anything else. Next: a drain, then a thorough flush of the entire system. Not like petrol, AdBlue leaves crystals and eats at certain fuel-system metals, and none of that washes away unaided. That is why it counts more. After the filter is flushed — or replaced, where needed — fresh diesel is added, and finally your vehicle is tested. Before we go, our engineers fire it up and confirm that it's running smoothly. Using pumps safe on a busy forecourt and quiet enough for use outside a house at night, most jobs where the engine has not run need about half an hour after we are there. The insurer will ask for the engineer's report and your VAT invoice, and you get both once this job is done. Payment is on the day, with no deposit. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Groes, briefly Groes is a suburban area situated on the lakeside in Wrexham county, with an elevation of 186 metres and a population of around 1856 residents.
