Then put this page aside a moment, leave the ignition and motor off, and phone 0333 366 0103. Caught before the engine runs, it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Holme upon Spalding Moor. The remainder of this page explains why it occurs and how to ensure it does not — useful if you are reading before it has happened. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel vehicle Many newer diesels around Rascal Moor, like those in Holme upon Spalding Moor, carry on two liquids; the motor takes only the diesel. AdBlue's own tank keeps it, and from there it is sent to your exhaust, where a spray cleans the fumes. Each tank has its own filler. Under one flap, next to each other: that is the layout on many cars. On others, AdBlue's filler sits under the bonnet or in your boot instead. The diesel side is fuelled at the pump all the time. Rarely topped up, AdBlue normally comes from a bottle, tipped by someone who has to stop and think which cap it needs. The mistake grows in that gap between the two. ## Holme upon Spalding Moor: how AdBlue in the diesel tank occurs Seldom is it carelessness: usually three things coincide. To start with, the warning. Low AdBlue triggers a message from the car, and letting it run out leads to limp mode — hence a rushed top-up, maybe before work off Old Road, perhaps outside Blacksmith Arms on the way home after work. Next, your hand goes for the cap it knew on the old car — because a rental car, a new vehicle or a company car places the fillers somewhere your last one didn't. Nothing halts the pour once it has started, since a bottle with a spout goes into a diesel filler as easily as an AdBlue one. The bottle fits. Holme-on-Spalding-Moor or the middle of Holme upon Spalding Moor: it takes the same few seconds in both. ## The AdBlue filler and your diesel filler: telling them apart A few seconds is all the checks take — so check them before you tip anything, on a drive in High Garth or a forecourt in Holme upon Spalding Moor. - Read the cap instead of going by position: AdBlue ones are regularly blue or marked "AdBlue", and diesel caps normally aren't. - Many cars give AdBlue the smaller filler of the two. - The flap. Look inside the fuel flap for a label. Many motors say there which fuel goes where. - The handbook says which it lives when your filler isn't next to the diesel cap: your boot, or under the bonnet. - Whoever had it before will know. Check when you pick up a hire car or company car — at Eastrington's car park, say — not when the light appears. ## Keeping AdBlue out of your diesel tank when you top up A routine for the day the light comes on, wherever across East Riding of Yorkshire that is. - Switch off after you park — flat ground, engine off, and not rushed by Rush View on the verge. - Say "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew the cap, after finding the AdBlue filler and reading it. Daft, perhaps, yet it does the trick. - The two behind a single flap? So confirm the cap on your diesel side stays shut ahead of lifting the bottle. - Using the bottle's own spout, pour slowly — and stop when it is full or the bottle is empty. - Close the cap and check once more. Make sure the diesel cap was never opened. Only then start the car. Find at the second or third stage that AdBlue went into the wrong filler? That's where you stop. Stage five is off limits. ## Already put AdBlue in your diesel tank around Holme upon Spalding Moor? Don't start the engine: that's where the short order of things begins. On many diesels the ignition alone runs the fuel pump, so do not switch it on. Thinning it with extra diesel won't work, because AdBlue settles to the bottom rather than blending — and that's where the fuel is drawn from. The attendants at Rix, Shell or any forecourt will usually help pushing the vehicle clear if you ask. Your own driveway in Holme upon Spalding Moor is the place it should stay. Already run? Stop once it is sensible, then turn off. The next exit means the place to come off when you're on the M62, under 10 miles from Holme upon Spalding Moor.

Our engineers ask what was put in, about how much, and whether it has run, because those answers settle this work and our price. You hear that quote on the phone, before anybody heads out. Your system is then cleaned thoroughly, once the tank is emptied. Unlike petrol, AdBlue leaves crystals and eats at certain fuel-system metals, and neither clears out unaided. That is why it counts more. The filter flushed or, where it must be, replaced; fresh diesel in; and then a test of the car. Before leaving, we start the engine and confirm that it is running smoothly. If the motor hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there, using pumps that are safe on a working forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. Your insurer usually wants the engineer's report and the VAT invoice, and you get both once the job is done. Payment comes on the day, with no money upfront. While we travel, have a look at your policy; plenty include cover for misfuelling. ## About Holme upon Spalding Moor, for a moment Holme upon Spalding Moor is a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, situated in a low-lying area near the River Foulness.
