Choose the one that fits. ## On a Hill Top forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel You're at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. It could be the City Fuels (HGV Only), or the BP, or another station around Hill Top. What it means: this is the ideal spot to find out. Just that tank holds AdBlue; not one component beyond it has taken it in. What to do: do not get back in and start it to clear the pump. Ask the staff to help you roll the car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and phone us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the pump is possible when it cannot be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Hill Top Days had gone by with the dash light on. Picked up a bottle, poured it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, too late. It happens on drives just off Brindley Road as regularly as anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. Being unable to mix, AdBlue drops to the base in your tank and waits. One night parked changes none of that.

Somewhere on Parkside Place or else heading to Wolverhampton — under 10 miles away. Meaning? Your fuel pump has taken the AdBlue in. Past the fuel filter, through the lines, and — the further the mileage — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: pick a safe spot, stop, and turn the engine off. Services farther on are too far: on the M6, under 3 miles out of Hill Top, use the first junction.

Phone, saying how far your vehicle went. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles You have had this car barely a week. Your own car either has no AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so no one told you the AdBlue cap was just beside your diesel.

Occasionally the fair answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Moorlands Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Golds Green. The point: the motor isn't harmed by a little AdBlue spilled on the outside. In the diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue harms it. You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would draw in any AdBlue that is in that tank.

We come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Dovecote or a side street close to Hill Top Library, and ask three things: what got in, about how much, and if your motor has been run. Answers set the job; the quote comes on the call whilst nobody has set off yet. AdBlue crystallises and eats at certain metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't wash out on its own; that's why a full flush, after this drain, counts far more here than with petrol. Fresh diesel is put in after the fuel filter has been cleaned or replaced, and the car is finally checked. If your motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Our engineers start the car last. With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians confirm it is running properly, and then we go.
