# Iwerne Minster: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation

Has your motor run since the AdBlue got in? That single question decides nearly everything else from here.

Wherever your car is — Fontmell Magna, Iwerne Minster — never run a motor that hasn't run yet.

Ring 0333 366 0103 with your ignition and motor still off. In Iwerne Minster, that is typically drained and cleaned where it stands.

If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off.

The job is bigger, yet the first step is the same.

Anywhere around Dorset it happened, one of the situations below matches yours.

## On a Iwerne Minster forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

Picture it: standing by the pump, gripping the nozzle, you spot the filler you took off wasn't the correct one.

It could be the Texaco, or the Esso, or a different station in Iwerne Minster.

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

No pump has pulled it in, and so the AdBlue stays only inside that tank.

Your move: keep out of the driver's seat, even if the queue needs freeing.

Ring us from the forecourt once the vehicle is in a bay — the attendants will help roll it — and keep the receipt.

If it cannot be shifted, it can be emptied at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt.

## At home in Iwerne Minster with AdBlue in your diesel tank

The warning light had been on for days.

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

Driveways near Church Road see it as much as anywhere.

What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt.

Being reluctant to blend, AdBlue settles low in that tank and waits. One night standing changes nothing.

Next: the keys indoors, so nobody drives your car off first thing. Then, phone.

Your drive is where it is drained, be it in Iwerne Minster or Sutton Waldron.

The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.

## On the road around Iwerne Minster with AdBlue in a diesel

You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard.

Somewhere along Hobgoblin or else heading towards Salisbury — under 25 miles away.

The upshot: the system has drawn AdBlue in by now.

Mileage sets how far it gets: filter and pipework to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

What to do: pull over where it's safe then switch off.

On the M27, under 50 miles from Iwerne Minster, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own.

About what distance did it gone? Tell us as you call.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

Seven days ago, it was new to you.

Unbeknown to you, the two fillers are side by side here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or keeps it elsewhere.

Anyone, anywhere around Dorset, might make the same.

What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage.

Plenty of rental and company agreements require the owner's sign-off for repairs.

Next: phone the rental company or the fleet manager first, and then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker.

Keep the car switched off as the answer arrives, whether you are parked at Gillingham (Dorset) or close to St Mary's.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around Iwerne Minster

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

A slight ammonia-like whiff hangs near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall.

Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Farrington.

In short: spillage near your filler does the motor unharmed.

AdBlue inside your diesel tank does.

Any AdBlue in your tank would be pulled in by firing up the car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.

Next: assume it went in, then keep the engine off.

Call us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.

## Every AdBlue drain in Iwerne Minster shares these steps

Whatever the situation, a single opening applies.

Three questions come when our engineers reach your car — on a filling station, a drive, a road by Iwerne Minster Village Sign or the car park at The Talbot: the fluid, the quantity, and if the motor has been started.

Over the phone, before dispatch, you are told our quote, and those replies decide the work too.

Then the tank is drained and your system purged thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it does not rinse out on its own.

Then comes the fuel filter — cleaned, or replaced when necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the car.

Where your motor has not run, allow about half an hour on site, for most jobs.

We fire it up last.

Before our technicians leave, it is checked to make sure it runs correctly on new diesel.

When it is caught soon, the car very rarely has lasting damage, and the entire job takes place where it is.

You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer.

Many policies cover misfuelling, so look at yours as we head over.
