# Hamm Court Estate: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation

Has your engine run since the AdBlue went in? This single point settles almost everything about what comes next.

Anywhere the vehicle is — Lock Island, Hamm Court Estate — never run a motor that hasn't been started yet.

Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush plus a drain, done just where the vehicle sits around Hamm Court Estate.

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

A bigger job, then, yet the same first move.

Compare what happened to a situation from the list below, wherever in Surrey you are.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Hamm Court Estate forecourt

Just at this point, bottle still in your hand, it dawns on you that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the petrol pump.

It could be the Shell, or perhaps the Tesco, or another forecourt around Hamm Court Estate.

Meaning? Spotting it here is the best it gets.

Just that tank holds AdBlue; not one part beyond it has taken it in.

Next: resist the temptation to fire it up only to move away from the petrol pump.

Phone us from the forecourt after the vehicle is in a bay — the staff will lend a hand to push it — then keep the receipt.

Draining it right at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Hamm Court Estate drive?

The warning light had been on for days.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in hand, did you glance back at the cap you had opened on the driveway.

It occurs on driveways just off Hamm Court as commonly as anywhere.

Meaning? As long as your vehicle has not been driven since, it is close to the forecourt case.

At the bottom of the tank is where AdBlue waits, since it will not mix with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference.

Keep the keys indoors tonight — or a person might drive it away at breakfast — then phone us.

We drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is around Hamm Court Estate or out in Pharaohs Island.

Late-night clears beside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet.

## Hamm Court Estate: set off with AdBlue in a diesel?

Filled up, pulled away, and before long the motor was turning unevenly, blowing smoke, losing power, or flashing up your dash.

It might have been driving for Westminster, under 25 miles away, or simply along Drift Road, Hamm Court.

Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through the system.

The injection pump and every injector get it as well on a bigger run, once the filter and lines have it.

Every restart, like every mile, pushes it deeper.

Do this: pull up anywhere sensible, then turn your engine off.

On the M3, under a mile from Hamm Court Estate, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

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

Phone us and say how far you drove.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles

You've had this vehicle hardly a week.

Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets sit side by side here — not like your own car, which has no AdBlue or stores it in another spot.

Anyone, wherever in Surrey, could make it.

Meaning? Whatever case above applies too — run or not — plus one further step.

Plenty of hire and company agreements want the owner to approve work on your car.

Next: phone the rental company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is faster.

Keep the vehicle switched off while the answer comes, whether you are parked outside Addlestone or near Weybridge Lawn Tennis Club.

## Hamm Court Estate: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think it did.

The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia about your filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off.

A hurried stop by the gates of St Charles Borromeo Catholic Primary School, Weybridge, or a call to a friend in Chertsey Meads: both fits.

The upshot: your engine is not hurt by some AdBlue splashed around the outside.

A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter.

If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up your car would suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

Do this: behave as though it got in, and never start your motor.

Ring us and describe what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.

## Hamm Court Estate: what each AdBlue drain has in common

Every situation has the same start to the work.

Our engineers come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a drive, the car park at Thames Court or a side street near Prince of Peace, and ask three things: what got in, about how much, and whether the engine has run.

Those replies determine this work, and you get the quote by phone, before anybody sets off.

AdBlue forms crystals and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, and so it does not wash out on its own; that's why the flush, after this drain, matters far more with AdBlue than with petrol.

Clean diesel goes in once the fuel filter is cleaned or replaced, and your car is then checked.

Most unstarted cars are a half-hour visit after the moment our technicians get there.

The final step is starting the car.

Before our technicians leave, it's tested to make sure it runs correctly on fresh diesel.

If it's spotted early, the vehicle very rarely has long-term damage, and the entire job takes place where it is.

You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer.

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