That one point settles almost everything else from here. Not run so far? Then leave the vehicle like that, whether the vehicle sits — Hanging Water or Greystones. Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush after a drain, carried out right where your car stands around Hanging Water. Where your engine has been run, stop safely first, then turn it off. It's a larger job, yet step one doesn't change. Wherever around South Yorkshire it happened, one of the cases below matches yours. ## At the pump around Hanging Water: AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: standing by the pump, holding the bottle, you realise the cap you opened wasn't the right one. It might be the Esso, or the Shell, or a different station in Hanging Water. The upshot: of every spot to find out, this is the best. Only the tank has AdBlue; no component past it has drawn it in. Freeing the petrol pump is no excuse to run it — and so do not get back in. Ask the staff to help you roll your car into a parking bay, keep the till receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt. Can't move the vehicle beside the petrol pump? Explosion-proof kit keeps a live forecourt safe, so we can drain the car in place. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Hanging Water drive? Days had gone by with the warning light on. A bottle from the garage, emptied in on the drive — and it was just at the recycling that the cap caught your eye. It takes place on driveways just off Armthorpe Road as often as anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call. Nether Green or Hanging Water: whichever your drive is, that's where it is drained. Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a driveway. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Hanging Water? Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard arrived a short way after the top-up. Bramwith Road, say, or the route to Sheffield — a trip of under 3 miles. Put simply: the AdBlue has been sucked into the fuel system. The high-pressure pump and each injector get it too on a longer trip, after your filter and lines have had it. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: find a sensible spot, stop, then turn your motor off. Hanging Water sits under 10 miles from the Tinsley Viaduct; there, come off at the next junction rather than pressing on for the services. It won't have cleared, so there's no sense restarting to find out. About how far did it go? Tell us as you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles You have just had the vehicle a week. The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Anywhere you happen to be in South Yorkshire, every motorist could be caught. Meaning? Whichever applies above counts here — run or not — plus one further stage. Many hire and fleet contracts require the owner's sign-off for repairs. Settling it before the van turn up is faster, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Waiting for an answer at the car park at Sheffield, or beside Shepherd Wheel? Keep the engine off meanwhile. ## Hanging Water: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank? Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can truthfully say. What cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by the filler. The gates of Nether Green Junior School in a hurry, say, or a friend's driveway over in Stumperlowe. Meaning? Spills outside the filler don't reach the engine at all. Once it is inside your diesel tank, though, it does. If there is AdBlue in the tank, firing up your car will pull it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. Your move: act as though it got in, and never start the motor. Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue beats draining one after it's been run — so ring then tell us what you saw. ## Every AdBlue drain in Hanging Water shares these stages No matter the situation, a single start is used. Anywhere the vehicle stands — The Wonky Labrador's car park, a road by Nether Green Methodist Church, a driveway, a forecourt — our van arrives and we ask about the liquid, the amount, plus whether the motor has turned over. Those replies settle the work, and you get the quote by phone, before anybody sets off. Then that tank is drained and your system purged thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Not started? In that case about half an hour on site is most jobs. Last, our technicians start the car. Our test that it runs correctly on clean diesel comes before our technicians head off. The whole job is done where the vehicle is, and when it is caught early, permanent damage is very rare. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, nothing in advance. Worth knowing: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your policy as you wait is worthwhile. ## About Hanging Water and where it is Hanging Water is a suburban area situated on the outskirts of Sheffield, near the River Porter in South Yorkshire.
