Keep your engine and ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103 now — reading can wait when AdBlue is already in the diesel tank. A drain and a thorough flush, done just where your car stands around Haghill, is normally all it takes when found before your engine runs. The remainder of this page explains why it takes place and how to ensure it doesn't — useful if you're reading before it has happened. ## Why does AdBlue in a diesel car need its own filler? Many newer diesels around Barrowfield, like those in Haghill, carry on two liquids; your motor takes just your diesel. AdBlue goes to your exhaust, where it is sprayed into the gas to clean it, and it lives in a tank of its own. Each tank has its own filler. Some cars keep the AdBlue filler in your boot or under the bonnet; a lot of others place both together behind one flap. The diesel side is topped up at the petrol pump all the time. Far less frequently, the AdBlue side gets topped up — normally from a bottle, by someone working out where it goes. The mistake grows in that gap between them. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank around Haghill: how it takes place Three things tend to come together, and carelessness is seldom one of them. Hurry follows from the warning. Your car tells you as AdBlue runs low, and an empty tank puts the vehicle into limp mode — so the top-up gets done quickly, before work on a driveway off Aitken Street, or heading home in the car park at Bristol Bar. Next, the hand reaches for the cap it knew on the old motor — since a rental car, a new car or a company car puts the fillers somewhere your last one didn't. And the bottle fits. A bottle with a spout goes into a diesel filler as easily as an AdBlue one, and so nothing stops the tip after it has started. Whether it occurs in Dennistoun or the middle of Haghill, it is the same few seconds. ## The AdBlue filler and the diesel filler: telling them apart A couple of seconds is all these take — so check them before you pour anything, on a driveway in Parkhead or a forecourt around Haghill. - Where it sits can mislead; the cap does not. AdBlue ones tend to be blue or bear the name "AdBlue" — diesel ones usually don't. - Look at the size: the smaller filler neck is, on plenty of motors, the AdBlue one. - The flap. Look inside the fuel flap for a label. Many motors say there which fuel goes where. - The handbook shows which it lives if your filler isn't next to the diesel cap: your boot, or under the bonnet. - The person who drove it last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park at Duke Street, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## Keeping AdBlue out of your diesel tank when you top up Wherever in Glasgow City the light comes on, this is a routine for that day. - Park then switch off. Not on a slope, not with the engine running, and not in a rush on the side of Dreghorn Street. - Daft as it sounds, saying "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew the cap works — once you've located the filler and read it. - The diesel cap remains on. When both share a flap, confirm it is closed before the bottle comes up. - Slowly is best, through the bottle's own spout, until it is full or the bottle is empty. - Only then, start the vehicle: close the cap, check a second time, and make sure your diesel cap was never opened. If at stage two or three you find you have already poured into the diesel side, stop there. Stage five is out. ## Haghill: already put AdBlue in the diesel tank? Then the order of things is short. Don't start your motor. Keep the ignition off too, because on many diesels switching it on by itself starts the pump. Do not top up with diesel to dilute it: AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel, it sinks to the bottom of that tank, where your fuel is pulled from. Ask the attendants to help roll the car away from the petrol pump if you're at a forecourt — the Asda, the BP or anywhere else. If you're on your own driveway around Haghill, leave the vehicle where it stands. Already started? Pull over once it is safe, then turn off.

Our engineers ask what got in, roughly how much, and whether it's run, because the answers determine this work and our quote. You get that quote by phone, before anyone sets off. Emptying your tank comes next, then a full flush of the system. Much more than with petrol, it matters here: the crystals form, certain metals corrode, and none of it washes away unaided, no matter how long it sits. The filter flushed or, if needed, swapped; clean diesel in; and then a test of your vehicle. The engine is fired up next and tested to be sure it runs properly, all before we leave. Most jobs are finished in about half an hour once our technicians arrive, provided your engine has not run — and the pumps we use are fine on a busy forecourt yet quiet after dark outside a house. Nothing upfront; you settle up that day. At the end, the VAT invoice and a report from the engineer are handed to you for your insurer. It is worth checking your policy as the van travels to you: misfuelling cover comes with many policies. ## About Haghill Haghill is a suburban area situated on the riverside in Glasgow City, with a relatively low elevation of 27 metres.
