Find Your Situation One thing matters above all when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is if your motor has run afterwards. Out in Bradshaw Chapel or right in Hall i th Wood, an unrun engine should remain that way. Phone 0333 366 0103 with the key and motor both off. In Hall i th Wood, such a case is generally emptied and cleaned where it stands. Stop the minute you safely can and turn off, if it has been run. Step one stays the same, even though the job is bigger. Compare what happened to one of the list below, anywhere in Greater Manchester you happen to be. ## At the petrol pump in Hall i th Wood: AdBlue in a diesel Only at this point, bottle still in your hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump. Perhaps you are at the Shell, maybe at the Texaco, possibly somewhere else around Hall i th Wood. In short: no better spot exists to spot it. The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. Next: avoid the temptation to fire it up only to move away from the pump. Ask the attendants to help you push the car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. Can't move the car by the pump? Our explosion-proof equipment makes a busy forecourt sensible, so it can be drained where it is. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Hall i th Wood drive? The warning light had been on for days. Bought a container, tipped it in at home, binned the empty — and only then looked at the cap a second time, after the fact. It happens on driveways just off Ashwell Street as commonly as anywhere. The upshot: zero driving since makes this almost as good to spotting it at the petrol pump. On the floor of that tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, because it will not blend with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference. Keep the keys in the house tonight — otherwise a person may drive it off first thing — then call us. In Castle Hill or right here around Hall i th Wood, the draining is done at your driveway. Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a residential street. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Hall i th Wood? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Laycock Avenue, say, or the way towards Salford — a run of under 10 miles. The upshot: the system has drawn AdBlue in already. Past your filter, through the lines, and — the further the mileage — deeper into the high-pressure pump and every injector. It travels deeper with every extra mile covered and each restart. Next: find a safe place, stop, then turn your motor off. Exit at the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the St. Peter's Way, under 5 miles from Hall i th Wood. No trial restarts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue will do. About what distance did it gone? Say so when you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car Seven days back, the car was new to you. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Greater Manchester. Meaning? Whatever case above applies here — run or unrun — and one further step. Many hire and fleet agreements require the owner's sign-off for work. Next: ring the hire company or the fleet manager first, and then us — settling it before our arrival is quicker. Waiting for a reply in the car park at Hall i' th' Wood, or near St Andrew's Methodist Church? Leave the engine off meanwhile. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank around Hall i th Wood? Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". Which cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle feels lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by your filler. A rushed top-up by the gates of St Columba's RC Primary School, or a call to a friend in Back o th Bank: either fits. Meaning? Drips around the inlet never reach the motor at all. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Any AdBlue in the tank would be drawn in by starting the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it went in. Do not fire it up. Ring with the details: we would rather find a clean tank than empty one once the motor has run. ## The common ground in each Hall i th Wood AdBlue drain Each case has the same start to the work. Filling station, drive, Bolton Castle's car park or a street beside St Andrew's Methodist Church Hall — the van comes to the car, and three questions follow: what fluid, what amount, and whether it has run. Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told the quote, and those answers shape the work too. A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it's essential, because crystals form and some metals are attacked, and neither washes out unaided. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Never started? In that case about half an hour once we are there covers most jobs. The last step is firing it up. Before our engineers head off, it is checked to be sure it runs properly on clean diesel. The whole job is done where your car is, and when it is spotted early, lasting damage is very unusual. Nothing is paid upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what the insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Check your insurance while we're en route: cover for misfuelling comes included in plenty of policies. ## About Hall i th Wood itself Hall i th Wood is a suburban area situated on the outskirts of Bolton, near the lakeside and surrounded by rolling hills.
