Find Your Situation One fact matters most once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether your motor has been started afterwards. Over in Rowanfield or right in Hesters Way, an unstarted engine must stay unrun. Normally that means draining and properly cleaning it right there in Hesters Way — and so leave your ignition and motor off then phone 0333 366 0103. Already started? Stop once safe, then turn it off. It is a bigger job, yet stage one doesn't change. Match what happened to a situation from the ones below, wherever around Gloucestershire you happen to be. ## On a Hesters Way forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just notice it while you are stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Somewhere in Hesters Way, then — Shell, EG On the Move, or anywhere else nearby. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is as good as it can be. Still in the tank, with no fuel drawn through: that's where the AdBlue is. Next: avoid the urge to fire it up only to move away from the pump. Phone us from the forecourt once the vehicle is in a space — the staff will lend a hand to roll it — then save the receipt. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away is drained where it is at the petrol pump. ## Hesters Way, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank Days had gone by with the dash light on. Bought a container, poured it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and at that point looked at the cap a second time, after the fact. Just off Silas Court is not less likely from anywhere. Meaning? As long as the car hasn't been driven since, it is close to the forecourt case. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue drops to the base of your tank and stays there, no matter how long the night. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call. Your drive is where it is emptied, whether around Hesters Way or Springbank. Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a driveway. ## Hesters Way: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Anywhere along Oldbury Close or heading towards Gloucester — under 10 miles away. What it means: the fuel system has drawn the AdBlue in. It's been through the fuel filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. What to do: pull over where it is safe and switch off. Hesters Way sits under 3 miles from the M5; there, come off at the first junction instead of pressing on for the services. Restarting it to check achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own. Phone us and say how far you travelled. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? A week ago, the car was new to you. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets sit next to each other here — not like your own car, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Gloucestershire. Meaning? Whichever case above counts too — run or not — and one further stage. The owner often has to sign off any work, under many rental and company contracts. Next: ring the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is faster. If you're stranded in the car park outside Cheltenham Spa, or by Hesters Way Baptist Church, while you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Hesters Way? "I think so" is often the most honest as it gets. A faint ammonia-like whiff lingers near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is a blur. A rushed stop by the gates of Springbank Primary Academy, or a call to a friend in St Marks: both fit. In short: spillage round your filler leaves the motor no harm. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Turning on your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will draw it in. Assume it went in, and never turn your key. Describe what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank checked is a better outcome than an already-run one drained. ## The common ground in each Hesters Way AdBlue drain The job opens the same way, whatever your case. Three questions are asked when our engineers arrive — on a filling station, a driveway, a street by Lost In Translation or the car park at The Umbrella: the liquid, the amount, and whether it has been started. Your price comes on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and the replies shape the job. AdBlue crystallises and eats at certain metals used in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out on its own; that is why a full flush, after this drain, matters far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Most unrun vehicles are a half-hour visit after the moment we get there. Firing it up comes last. Our technicians make sure it runs correctly on new diesel before we leave. The entire job is done where the vehicle is, and if it is noticed quickly, long-term damage is very uncommon. Paying comes on the day, never in advance. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a written report from the engineer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Hesters Way Hesters Way is a suburban area located near Gloucester in Gloucestershire, sitting at an elevation of 52 metres in the inland landscape of the South West region.
