AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Higher Condurrow Everything hinges on one fact: if the motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is in Higher Condurrow itself or out in Troon. Leave the motor and your ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Higher Condurrow. Already run? Pull over once you safely can, then switch everything off. Stage one stays the same, even if the work grows. Compare what happened to one of the ones below, wherever across Cornwall you are. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Higher Condurrow forecourt Only now, nozzle yet in your hand, you realise that the cap you opened was the wrong one, right at the pump. Anywhere around Higher Condurrow, then — Tesco, Morrisons, or anywhere else close by. What it means: this is the best location to find out. Just that tank holds AdBlue; not one part beyond it has drawn any in. Do this: keep out of the driver's seat, however much the pump wants freeing. A few jobs: a shove into a space with the staff helping, the receipt saved, and a call to us from the forecourt. Stuck beside the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof kit keeps a live forecourt sensible, so we can drain the vehicle in place. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Higher Condurrow On your dash, a warning had been lit all week. A bottle bought at the shop, tipped in at the driveway — and it's just by the bin that the cap caught a second look. Just off Carn Entral is no different from any other place. Meaning? As long as the car has not moved since, it's second to the pump case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Keep your keys in the house tonight — or someone may take it off at breakfast — then phone us. Pengegon or Higher Condurrow: wherever your drive sits, that's where it gets drained. Late-night drains outside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet. ## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel around Higher Condurrow? Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard started a mile or two beyond the top-up. Bekelege Drive, say, or the way to Truro — a trip of under 15 miles. In short: the AdBlue has been sucked through your fuel system. Mileage sets how far it goes: filter and pipework first, then the injection pump and every injector. Every restart, like each mile, carries it deeper. Your move: stop anywhere sensible, then switch your engine off. On the M5, over 50 miles from Higher Condurrow, that means the next junction, not the services further on. Restarting it to check achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. About what distance had it go? Say so as you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car A week ago, the car was new to you. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, anywhere in Cornwall, could make it. Put simply: one extra step on top of the cases above, and those depend on if it has run. Any work on your car frequently needs the owner's approval under rental or fleet terms. Settling it before the van turn up is quicker, so phone the rental company or your fleet manager, then us. Hanging on for an answer at the car park at Camborne, or near Wolf's Shaft Engine House (Great Condurrow Mine)? Leave the engine off meanwhile. ## Higher Condurrow: unsure if it was AdBlue in your diesel tank? "I think so" is sometimes as honest answer there is. A slight ammonia whiff lingers around your filler, the bottle seems too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. Maybe at a friend's drive in Carn Arthen, or in a rush by St John's Catholic Primary School, Camborne on the school run. The point: the engine is not hurt by a little AdBlue splashed around the filler. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, turning on your car will pull it in, and it would not tell you which either. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't start it. Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clear tank checked counts as a happier outcome than a run one emptied. ## What each AdBlue drain in Higher Condurrow has in common No matter the situation, one start is used. Three things are asked once we reach your car — at a forecourt, a driveway, a road beside Engine House or the car park at Beacon Inn: the liquid, the amount, and whether it has run. Your price is given over the phone, before a van leaves, and those answers set the work. Emptying the tank comes next, then a full flush — more important with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not clear by themselves, no matter how long you wait. Finally are the fuel filter, cleaned or renewed if necessary; fresh diesel; and a check of your car. The majority of unstarted cars are a half-hour visit after the moment our technicians arrive. The last step is firing it up. Before our engineers head off, it's checked to confirm it runs properly on fresh diesel. If it is caught soon, the vehicle very seldom has permanent damage, and the whole job happens where it is. Paying is on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a written report from the engineer. Worth remembering: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your policy as you wait is worthwhile. ## About Higher Condurrow Higher Condurrow is a village in Cornwall, situated on the banks of a river, with the village centre at an elevation of around 166 metres.
