Huyton Quarry: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Everything hinges on a single detail: if your motor has started after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Huyton Quarry itself or out in Huyton. Leave your motor and your ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Huyton Quarry. Pull over the moment you safely can and switch off, if it has been run. It is a bigger job, though step one doesn't change.
Below: the cases we see, wherever in Merseyside. Pick yours.
Huyton Quarry forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, gripping the nozzle, you realise the cap you opened was not the correct one. It might be the Esso, or the Shell, or another station around Huyton Quarry.
Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is as good as it gets. Nothing has pulled it in, and so the AdBlue sits only in that tank.
Freeing the pump is no excuse to run it — so don't get back in. A few things: a push into a space with the staff assisting, the receipt saved, and a call to us from where you stand. Our equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that cannot be pushed clear gets drained where it is at the petrol pump.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Huyton Quarry
Days had passed with the warning light on. Picked up a container, poured it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and only then checked the cap again, too late. Drives near Ellis Ashton Street see it as much as anywhere.
Meaning? Provided your car has not moved since, it is close to the pump case. As it is unable to blend, AdBlue settles low inside that tank and waits. A night parked changes none of that.
Your move: keys in the house, so nobody takes your car anywhere at breakfast. Then, ring. Out in Huyton Park or right here in Huyton Quarry, the drain happens on your driveway. Our pumping kit works quietly enough not to disturb the street at night.
AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Huyton Quarry?
You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. West View, perhaps, or the route towards Liverpool — a run of under 10 miles.
Meaning? The fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue up. It's been through your filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. Every restart, like each mile, pushes it on.
Next: pick a safe spot, pull in, and switch your engine off. Huyton Quarry sits under a mile from the M57; there, pull off at the first junction instead of pressing on for the services. Starting it again to check gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Ring us and say how far you travelled.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
Seven days ago, it was new to you. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, because your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Wherever you are across Merseyside, any motorist could be caught.
The upshot: just as above, divided by whether it ran, but with an added step. The owner frequently has to sign off any work, under plenty of hire and company agreements.
Do this: hire firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, since settling it beforehand cuts time. If you are stranded in the car park outside Huyton, or by St Gabriel's Church, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.
Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Huyton Quarry?
"I think so" is often as honest answer there is. 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. It might have been at a friend's drive in Huyton with Roby, or rushing outside St Gabriel's CofE Primary School at the school run.
Meaning? Drips around the filler don't reach the motor at all. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Firing up your car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would suck it in.
Next: assume it got in, and leave the motor off. Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clear tank checked is a better result than a run one drained.
Each AdBlue drain in Huyton Quarry shares these steps
Each situation has the same opening to the job. Filling station, drive, Brewers Fayre's car park or a road beside St Agnes Roman Catholic Church — our van reaches your car, and three questions come next: which fluid, which quantity, and whether it ran. Those replies determine this work, and you get the price by phone, before anyone heads out.
A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, since deposits form and certain metals are attacked, and neither rinses out unaided. The filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour visit from the moment we turn up.
Our technicians start it last. Before our technicians leave, it's checked to make sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel. Permanent damage is very unusual if it's noticed soon, 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. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way.
