--- title: What Now? AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Hucclecote canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/hucclecote-gloucestershire/ location: Hucclecote county: Gloucestershire latitude: 51.855820 longitude: -2.188690 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-20 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Hucclecote All of that turns on one detail: whether the motor has been run after the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Out in Brockworth or here around Hucclecote, an unstarted motor should remain unrun. Usually that is draining and properly purging it on the spot around Hucclecote — so leave your ignition and motor off then ring 0333 366 0103. Stop the minute you safely can then switch off, if it has been run. It is a larger job, though stage one doesn't change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Gloucestershire it happened. ## Hucclecote forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you're stood at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. It could be the Esso, or perhaps the another forecourt nearby, or another forecourt around Hucclecote. In short: there is no better place to be to spot it. No pump has drawn it through, and so the AdBlue stays just in that tank. Do this: stay out of the driver's seat, however much the queue wants freeing. Ring us from the forecourt after your vehicle sits in a space — the attendants will help roll it — and save the receipt. Draining it there at the pump is possible when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## Hucclecote, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank Several days had gone by with the dash light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. It occurs on driveways just off Larkhay Road as regularly as anywhere. Meaning? As long as your car hasn't moved since, it is second to the forecourt case. As it is reluctant to blend, AdBlue settles low inside that tank and waits. A night standing changes none of that. Keep your keys in the house overnight — or a person might take it away first thing — then phone us. Your driveway is where it gets drained, whether in Hucclecote or Abbeydale. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Hucclecote? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Maybe driving to Gloucester, under 3 miles away, or just along Erminster Drive. Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue up. It's been through your filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and your injectors. Every restart, like each mile, pushes it on. Do this: pull up anywhere sensible, then switch the motor off. Services further along are too far: on the M5, under a mile out of Hucclecote, take the first junction. No trial restarts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue will do. Roughly what distance had it go? Tell us as you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car A week back, the car was unknown to you. Your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, so nothing warned you the AdBlue inlet was just beside your diesel. Wherever you happen to be across Gloucestershire, any driver can be caught. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. Plenty of hire and company agreements need the owner's approval for repairs. Settling it before we arrives is faster, and so phone the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Waiting for a reply at the car park at Gloucester, or beside Saint Philip & Saint James? Keep the engine off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Hucclecote? Truthfully, the only answer might be that you think it did. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia about the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. The gates of Dinglewell Infant School in a rush, perhaps, or a friend's drive over in Upton St Leonards. Meaning? Spills outside the filler don't touch the engine at all. A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter. You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would suck in any AdBlue that is in that tank. Do this: behave as if it got in, and never start your engine. Phone and give what you saw: we'd rather find a tank free of AdBlue than empty one after your motor has been run. ## The common ground in each Hucclecote AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way. Anywhere your car is — Wagon & Horses's car park, a road beside Hucclecote Community Centre and Social Club, a driveway, a filling station — the van arrives and asks about the fluid, the quantity, and if the motor has turned over. Your price is given on the call, before a van leaves, and the replies shape the work. AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't rinse out unaided; that is why the flush, after the drain, counts far more here than with petrol. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. If the motor has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there. Firing it up comes last. We make sure it runs correctly on new diesel before we leave. The entire job is done where your car is, and when it's spotted quickly, permanent damage is very unusual. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of policies include misfuelling, so look at yours while the van travels. ## About Hucclecote, for a moment Hucclecote is a suburban area in Gloucestershire, situated near the River Severn at an elevation of 36 metres.
