In that case set this page aside a moment, keep your ignition and engine off, then ring 0333 366 0103. Normally, if the motor hasn't run, it is drained and fully purged where the car sits around Hungershall Park. If you are reading before it has happened, the remainder of this page is about why it happens and how to make sure it doesn't. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel vehicle Many modern diesels on the roads about Hungershall Park and Royal Tunbridge Wells carry two liquids, not one. Diesel goes to your motor. Kept in a tank of its own, AdBlue is fed into the exhaust stream to clean it. Every tank has one filler of its own. Other cars put the AdBlue filler in the boot or under the bonnet; a lot of others place both together under one flap. Diesel gets filled on each forecourt call-out, again and again. Far less frequently, the AdBlue side gets filled — mostly from a bottle, by a person thinking about where it goes. The mistake lives in that gap. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank in Hungershall Park: how it occurs Three things tend to come together, and carelessness is seldom one of them. To start with, the warning. Low AdBlue triggers a warning from the car, and letting it run dry leads to limp mode — hence a rushed top-up, perhaps before work off A26, perhaps at The Ragged Trousers on the way home that evening. Next, the hand goes for the cap it knew on the old vehicle — because a hire car, a new vehicle or a company car places the fillers somewhere your last one didn't. A spouted bottle meets no resistance at a diesel filler no more than at an AdBlue one. So the tip, once started, carries on. It's seconds, whether out in Ramslye or right in the heart of Hungershall Park. ## How to tell the AdBlue filler from the diesel one Be it a Hungershall Park forecourt or a driveway over in Denny Bottom, take a few seconds over these before anything goes in. - Blue and marking: an AdBlue cap is frequently blue, or says "AdBlue", where a diesel cap normally doesn't. Trust the cap, not where it sits. - The size. On many cars the AdBlue filler neck is the smaller of the two. - Check inside the fuel flap: many vehicles have a label there showing which fuel goes where. - The handbook shows where it is if your filler is not next to the diesel cap: your boot, or under the bonnet. - The person who drove it last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Tunbridge Wells, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## How to top up without AdBlue in your diesel tank Anywhere in Kent the light comes on, here is a routine for that day. - Not in a rush on the side of Willow Tree Road, not on a slope, not with your engine running: park and switch off first. - Silly as it sounds, saying "AdBlue" out loud while you unscrew the cap works — after you've located the filler and read the cap. - If both sit under one flap, check the diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — and leave it on. - Using the bottle's own spout, pour slowly — and stop when it's full or the bottle is empty. - Only after that, start your car: close the cap, check a second time, and make sure your diesel cap was never opened. If at step two or three you find you have already poured into your diesel side, stop there. Stage five is off limits. ## Hungershall Park: already put AdBlue in your diesel tank? Don't start your engine: that's where the short order of things begins. On many diesels the ignition alone runs the fuel pump, so do not switch the vehicle on. Do not top up with diesel to dilute it: AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel, it sinks to the bottom of that tank, where the fuel is drawn from. If you're on a forecourt, whether it is the Esso or the Sainsbury's, ask the staff to help push the vehicle clear of the pump. Your own drive in Hungershall Park is the place it should stay. If the motor has already run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Leave the M25 — under 15 miles out of Hungershall Park — at the first exit. A short hop across Hungershall Park is a smaller job than a run towards Brighton and Hove, under 50 miles away, so tell us about how far it went. ## What takes place when our technicians turn up in Hungershall Park Our van comes to the car wherever it has come to rest — your own drive, near Showfields, or by Broadwater Down Primary School. What fluid was put in, the amount, and whether it ran: our engineers ask since the replies decide the work and price. You hear that price on the phone, before anybody heads out. Your system is then cleaned thoroughly, once your tank is emptied. With AdBlue that matters more than with petrol: it crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't wash out on its own. The filter flushed or, if needed, replaced; fresh diesel in; and then a check of your vehicle. Before we go, our engineers start the car and confirm that it is running correctly. Most jobs are done in about half an hour once we arrive, provided your motor hasn't run — and the pumps we use are safe on a busy forecourt and quiet at night outside a house. Your insurer will ask for an engineer's report and your VAT invoice, and you get both at the end. Payment is on the day, with no deposit. It is worth checking your policy as the van travels to you: misfuelling cover is included with many policies. ## About Hungershall Park and where it is Hungershall Park is a locality situated in a riverside setting in Kent, with an elevation of 82 metres.
