Usually, if your motor has not run, it's drained and fully flushed where your car is in Hebden Green. Reading before the event? Then the rest explains how it happens and how to stop it happening at all. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel motor Diesel feeds the motor — but plenty of newer diesels seen about Hebden Green and Town Fields hold another liquid as well. Kept in a tank of its own, AdBlue is sprayed into your exhaust gas to clean it. Each tank has its own filler. Other vehicles put the AdBlue filler in your boot or under the bonnet; plenty more have both side by side behind one flap. Topping up your diesel side at the petrol pump goes on constantly. Rarely filled, AdBlue normally goes in from a bottle, poured by a driver who must stop and think which filler to use. The error lives in that gap. ## Hebden Green: how AdBlue in the diesel tank occurs Three things tend to come together, and carelessness is seldom one of them. On a driveway off Littler Lane before work, or in the car park at The Gate Inn on the way home: that is where the hurried top-up happens. Why the rush? As AdBlue runs low the car tells you, and once it's empty, limp mode kicks in. Next, the hand goes for the cap it knew on the old car — since a hire car, a new car or a company car puts the fillers somewhere your last one didn't. Third, the spout fits: diesel filler or AdBlue filler, it slides in as easily, and once the tip begins, no part stops it. It takes a few seconds, whether out in Over or right in the heart of Hebden Green. ## The AdBlue filler and your diesel filler: telling them apart Be it a Hebden Green forecourt or a drive over in Marton Green, take a few seconds over these before anything goes in. - The cap. The AdBlue cap is commonly blue, or marked "AdBlue". The diesel cap usually isn't. Read it rather than going by where it sits. - On plenty of cars, the size tells: AdBlue gets the smaller filler neck. - Open the filler flap and look for a label — plenty of cars mark what goes in each filler right there. - In your boot or under the bonnet: that's where the filler sits if it is not by your diesel cap, and the handbook tells you which. - Ask the person who drove it last — before you leave, not when the light comes on — when you pick up a hire or company car from somewhere like the car park outside Winsford. ## How to top up without AdBlue in the diesel tank For the day the warning comes on — anywhere you are around Cheshire — a simple routine to follow. - Stop on level, motor off, with time in hand — not rushing on the side of Barlow Drive. - Locate the AdBlue filler, read the cap, and say the word "AdBlue" aloud as unscrewing it. It seems silly. It does the trick. - If both sit under one flap, check the diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — then leave the car on. - Gently does it, through the bottle's own spout, till it's full or the bottle runs out. - Before starting the car, close the cap and look again that the diesel cap was never came off. Find during the second or third stage that AdBlue went in the wrong tank? That is where you stop. Don't go on to step five. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank already, in Hebden Green? Short order, then. First: your motor stays unstarted. Don't switch your ignition on; on many diesels that alone runs the fuel pump. Diluting it with extra diesel won't work, because AdBlue sinks to the base instead of mixing — and that is where the fuel is sucked from. If you are on a forecourt, whether it is the Shell or the E. White Solid Fuels, ask the staff to help push your car clear of the pump. At home in Hebden Green? Then the car remains put. If the engine has already run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off.

Both the work and our price rest on three answers — which liquid, what amount, and whether it's run — so our engineers ask. During the phone call itself, you are told the price — ahead of anything else. The fuel system is then rinsed thoroughly, after that tank is cleared. With AdBlue that matters more than with petrol: it crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it does not wash out on its own. Filter flushed or, if needed, swapped; fresh diesel in; and then a check of your car. After that we fire it up and confirm it runs properly before we go. With pumps fine on a working forecourt and quiet enough for use outside a house at night, most jobs in which your motor hasn't run need about half an hour after our technicians arrive. Nothing in advance; you settle up that day. Afterwards, a VAT invoice and the report from the engineer are handed to you for your insurer. Misfuelling cover is included in plenty of insurance policies — so make use of the wait to look at yours. ## About Hebden Green Hebden Green is a locality situated on the riverside in Cheshire, with an elevation of around 50 metres.
