# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Ireland Wood: What Now?

Has your motor run since the AdBlue went in? This single question settles almost everything else from here.

If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is in Ireland Wood itself or out in Adel.

Call 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor still off. Across Ireland Wood, such a case is typically drained and flushed where it stands.

Where the motor has run, pull in safely first, then turn the car off.

Step one remains unchanged, even though the work is bigger.

Wherever across West Yorkshire it happened, one of the situations below matches yours.

## At the petrol pump in Ireland Wood: AdBlue in a diesel

You are at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one.

Maybe you are at the Esso, maybe at the Texaco, perhaps somewhere else around Ireland Wood.

Meaning? Finding out here is as good as it gets.

The AdBlue is in your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in.

Next: resist the urge to start it only to move away from the pump.

Get the staff to help pushing it into a space, hold on to the bottle, then phone us right there.

Stuck by the pump? Our explosion-proof kit keeps a busy forecourt safe, and so it can be drained where it is.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Ireland Wood drive?

Days had passed with the dash light on.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in your hand, did you look back at the cap you had opened at the driveway.

Just off Iveson Drive is no different from any other place.

Meaning? Provided the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's close to the pump case.

At the bottom of the tank sits exactly where AdBlue stays, since it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference.

Your move: keys indoors, and so nobody drives the car off at breakfast. Then, ring.

We drain the vehicle on your drive, whether that's in Ireland Wood or out in Low Farm.

Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway.

## On the road in Ireland Wood with AdBlue in a diesel

Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard started a mile or two beyond the top-up.

Perhaps it was on Iveson Approach, maybe on the way out towards Leeds, under 5 miles away.

Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue in.

Distance decides how far it goes: filter and pipework to begin with, then the injection pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Stop safely — that's the next step — then turn everything off.

Services farther along can wait: from the Inner Ring Road, under 5 miles out of Ireland Wood, take the first junction.

Restarting it to test achieves nothing — AdBlue never clears on its own.

Roughly what distance did it go? Tell us as you phone.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles

A week back, it was new to you.

The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

Throughout West Yorkshire, no one is immune.

Meaning? Whichever applies above counts too — run or unrun — plus one further step.

The owner frequently has to sign off any work, under many hire and fleet contracts.

Settling it before we arrives is quicker, and so phone the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us.

Stranded by Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church or at Horsforth until the firm answers, your car remains turned off throughout.

## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Ireland Wood?

Honestly, the only answer might be that you think so.

Which cap came off, you cannot say; meanwhile the bottle feels less than expected, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by the filler.

It might have been at a friend's driveway in Tinshill Moor, or in a rush outside Holy Name Catholic Voluntary Academy on the school run.

What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no harm to your engine.

AdBlue inside the diesel tank does.

If there is AdBlue in the tank, firing up the vehicle would pull it in, and it would not tell you which either.

What to do: treat it as if it went in. Don't fire it up.

Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than draining one once it has been run — so phone and tell us what you saw.

## Each AdBlue drain around Ireland Wood shares these stages

Every case gets the same opening to the work.

Filling station, driveway, The High Farm's car park or a street by St Paul — the van reaches your vehicle, and three answers come next: which liquid, what amount, and if it ran.

On the phone, ahead of dispatch, you hear the quote, and those answers shape the job too.

Emptying the tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more important with urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long it sits.

Next is your filter — flushed, or replaced when necessary — followed by fresh diesel, and a test of the vehicle.

The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour visit from the moment we get there.

Our engineers fire it up last.

Our check that it runs smoothly on new diesel comes before our engineers leave.

If it is noticed soon, the car very rarely has long-term damage, and the whole job happens where it is.

Nothing is paid upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what your insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

Dig out your insurance while we're en route: cover for misfuelling comes included in many policies.
