Everything hinges on one detail: if your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. Anywhere your car is — Cinderhill, Holbrook Moor — don't start an engine that has not been started yet. Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush plus a drain, done right where the car stands in Holbrook Moor. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. It's a larger job, though step one does not change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever in Derbyshire it happened. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Holbrook Moor forecourt The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only notice it as you're stood at the petrol pump, bottle or nozzle in your hand. Whether JET, Morrisons or somewhere else in Holbrook Moor, the case is identical. What it means: this is the best location to find out. The AdBlue is inside that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in. Next: resist the urge to start it only to move away from the pump. Have the attendants to help pushing it to a space, save the receipt, then ring us right there. Draining it there at the pump is possible if it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Holbrook Moor drive? On your dash, a reminder had shown for days. Picked up a bottle, poured it in outside the house, binned the empty — and at that point checked the cap a second time, after the fact. Drives close to Moorside Lane get it as much as any other street. In short: if the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it is almost equal to finding out at the pump. Being reluctant to mix, AdBlue settles to the base in that tank and waits. One night parked alters nothing. Keep your keys in the house tonight — otherwise someone may drive it off at breakfast — then call us. Out in Holbrook or here around Holbrook Moor, the draining is done on your drive. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Holbrook Moor? Filled up, pulled away, and soon your engine was running unevenly, blowing smoke, losing power, or flashing up the dash. Perhaps it was on The Nook, possibly on the way out towards Derby, under 10 miles away. The point: the system has drawn AdBlue through already. Past the filter, along the pipework, and — the more the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each restart, like each mile, pushes it on. Pull in safely — that is the first step — then switch it off. Holbrook Moor lies under 10 miles from the M1; there, come off at the next junction rather than pressing on to the services. No test starts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue does. Roughly what distance did it gone? Say so when you call. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've had this car barely a week. The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout Derbyshire, no one is safe from it. Put simply: an extra stage on top of the cases above, and those depend on whether it has run. Plenty of hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the vehicle. Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, since settling it beforehand saves time. Leave the car switched off as the reply comes, whether you are waiting outside Belper or near Holbrook Moor Methodist Church. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Holbrook Moor? "I think so" is often the most honest answer there is. What cap came off, you cannot recall; but the bottle feels less than expected, and a whiff of ammonia lingers by your filler. Maybe at a friend's driveway in Milford, or rushing by Holbrook Church of England Primary School at the school run. The point: the motor isn't harmed by some AdBlue spilled on the outside. Inside the diesel tank, however, AdBlue damages it. You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will draw in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Next: assume it went in, and keep your motor off. Ring with the details: we'd rather find a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once your engine has run. ## The common ground in every Holbrook Moor AdBlue drain The job begins the same way, whichever the situation. Filling station, drive, The Dead Poets Inn's car park or a road beside Arkwright Memorial Hall — the van comes to the vehicle, and three answers follow: which liquid, which amount, and whether it ran. Those answers decide the work, and you get our price by phone, before anybody heads out. AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to certain metals in fuel systems, so it won't wash out unaided; that's why the flush, after the drain, matters much more here than with petrol. Clean diesel is put in once your filter has been cleaned or changed, and the car is then checked. Not started? In that case about half an hour once we are there covers most jobs. The last step is starting it. Before we go, it is tested to be sure it runs smoothly on new diesel. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and lasting damage is very rare if it has been noticed quickly. Paying is that day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Worth remembering: many insurers include misfuelling cover, so a check of your documents while we travel is worthwhile. ## About Holbrook Moor, briefly Holbrook Moor is a locality in Derbyshire, situated inland at an elevation of 141 metres, approximately 5.7 miles from Derby.
