--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Jack-in-the-Green: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/jack-in-the-green-devon/ location: Jack-in-the-Green county: Devon latitude: 50.749910 longitude: -3.396380 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-07 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Jack-in-the-Green All of it hinges on one fact: if your engine has been run after the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the car is in Jack-in-the-Green itself or out in Strete Ralegh. Switch nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and expect a proper flush plus a drain, carried out just where your vehicle stands in Jack-in-the-Green. When your engine has run, stop somewhere safe first, then switch it off. Step one stays unchanged, even though the work is bigger. Match your case to a situation from the ones below, wherever across Devon you are. ## At the pump in Jack-in-the-Green: 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. Anywhere around Jack-in-the-Green, then — Murco, Texaco, or anywhere else nearby. What it means: this is the best place to find out. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in. Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to start it — and so do not get back in. A few things: a shove into a space with the staff assisting, the receipt kept, and a call to us from the forecourt. If it can't be moved, it can be emptied at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Jack-in-the-Green drive? Several days had passed with the warning light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look again at the cap. Drives close to Cedar Court see it as much as anywhere. In short: if your vehicle has not been driven since, it is nearly as good as spotting it at the pump. As it is reluctant to blend, AdBlue drops low in the tank and waits. One night standing changes nothing. Next: prevent an early-morning drive by putting the keys indoors, then ring us. Our engineers drain the car on your drive, whether that's in Jack-in-the-Green or out in Rockbeare. Late-night clears outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet. ## Jack-in-the-Green: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? Lumpy running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard started a short way beyond the top-up. Perhaps it was on Broomfield View, maybe on the way out towards Exeter, under 10 miles away. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through the system. Distance decides how far it goes: filter and lines first, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: pick a safe place, stop, then turn your motor off. On the M5, under 3 miles from Jack-in-the-Green, that means the next exit, not the services further on. Do not restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone, and say how far the vehicle was driven. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars It's a motor you have had for a week. Unbeknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers sit side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or stores it in another spot. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Devon. What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it has run, with one more step. Any work on your car frequently requires the owner's approval under rental or fleet terms. Settling it before we turn up is faster, and so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. Hanging on for an answer in the car park outside Cranbrook (Devon), or beside Rockbeare War Memorial? Leave your engine off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Jack-in-the-Green? At times, "I think so" is all anyone can honestly say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of Rockbeare Church of England Primary School and Pre-School in a hurry, perhaps, or someone's drive over in Hand and Pen. What it means: a little spilled round your filler does no damage to your engine. Inside the diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on your car would pull it in, and it would not tell you which either. Next: assume it went in, and leave the motor off. Phone with the details: we'd rather find a clean tank than empty one after your engine has been run. ## Every AdBlue drain around Jack-in-the-Green shares these stages The job begins identically, whatever your situation. We come to the vehicle, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Cranberry Farm or a side street near Saint Mary with Saint Andrew, and ask three things: what was put in, roughly how much, and whether the engine has run. On the phone, before anything else, you are told our quote, and those answers shape the work too. Draining that tank comes next, followed by a full flush — more vital with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not clear on their own, however long you wait. Last come your filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a check of your car. Not started? In that case about half an hour once we are there covers most jobs. Starting the car comes at the end. Our technicians check it runs correctly on fresh diesel before we leave. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very rare when it has been spotted early. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours while we're on the way. ## About Jack-in-the-Green, briefly Jack-in-the-Green is a suburban area situated on the riverside in Devon, with a relatively low elevation of 30 metres.
