--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Hobbs Wall: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/hobbs-wall-somerset/ location: Hobbs Wall county: Somerset latitude: 51.340860 longitude: -2.496780 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-13 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Hobbs Wall All of that hinges on a single detail: whether the motor has started after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Not run so far? Then leave the vehicle like that, wherever the car sits — Hobbs Wall or Tyning. Leave your motor and your ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it is usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Hobbs Wall. Stop the moment it is safe and switch off, if it has been run. A larger job, yes, yet the identical opening move. Wherever in Somerset it happened, one of the situations below fits yours. ## On a Hobbs Wall forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel You're at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Perhaps you're at the Murco, perhaps at the Murco Fual, perhaps somewhere else in Hobbs Wall. Put simply: no better place exists to spot it. Still inside your tank, with no fuel drawn through: that is where the AdBlue sits. What to do: do not get back in and fire it up to clear the petrol pump. Ring us from the forecourt once your car is in a space — the attendants will lend a hand to roll it — and save the receipt. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that cannot be pushed away gets drained where it is at the pump. ## Hobbs Wall, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank For days the dashboard had been nagging you. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look a second time at the cap. It takes place on driveways just off A39 as regularly as anywhere. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue drops to the floor of the tank and remains put, however long the night. Keep the keys indoors overnight — or someone may take it away first thing — and call us. Your driveway is where it gets emptied, be it around Hobbs Wall or Barrow Vale. Night-time empties beside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Hobbs Wall? Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard started a short way after the fill. Bath Road, perhaps, or the way to Bath — a run of under 10 miles. Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue up. Distance sets how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Stop safely — that's the first job — then switch everything off. On the M32, under 10 miles from Hobbs Wall, that means the next junction, not the services further on. It will not have cleared, so there is no point restarting to find out. About how far did it go? Tell us when 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 is right alongside the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, wherever across Somerset, might make it. The upshot: just as above, split by whether it ran, only with one added step. The owner frequently needs to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and company agreements. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before we arrive than after. Stuck near All Saints Farmborough or outside Keynsham till the firm answers, the car remains turned off the whole time. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Hobbs Wall? Honestly, the only answer might be that you think it did. Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia near your filler; a hazy memory of the cap. Sound familiar? A rushed top-up by the gates of Farmborough Church Primary School, or a call to a friend in Mearns: both fits. The upshot: your motor is not hurt by a little AdBlue spilled around the filler. The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another matter. If there is AdBlue in the tank, starting your car would suck it in, and it would not tell you which either. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't crank it. Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank checked counts as a happier result than a run one drained. ## The common ground in every Hobbs Wall AdBlue drain Whatever the situation, one start is used. Three questions are asked once we arrive — at a forecourt, a driveway, a street by Farmborough Memorial Hall or the car park at The Butchers Arms: the fluid, the quantity, and whether it has been started. On the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear our price, and those answers decide the job too. Draining the tank comes first, followed by a careful flush — more important with urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't go on their own, no matter how long it sits. Clean diesel is put in after your filter is flushed or replaced, and your car is finally checked. Never started? In that case roughly half an hour on site is most jobs. Starting the engine comes at the end. With clean diesel in, it runs while we make sure it is running correctly, and then we head off. Long-term damage is very unusual if it's spotted early, and the entire job is done where the car is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Check your insurance before we're en route: cover for misfuelling is built into plenty of policies. ## About Hobbs Wall, for a moment Hobbs Wall is a small suburban area situated on the riverside in Somerset, with a mix of detached housing and a population of around 630 residents.
