Keresley: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Everything hinges on one fact: if your engine has been run after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Not run so far? Then leave the vehicle that way, whether your vehicle is — Keresley or Brownshill Green. Leave the engine and your ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Keresley. Pull over the moment it is safe then switch off, if it has already run. A larger job, then, yet the same first move.
Wherever around West Midlands it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.
On a Keresley forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
Just at this point, bottle still in your hand, it dawns on you that the cap you took off was the wrong one, there at the pump. Whether Texaco, Shell or anywhere else in Keresley, the case is identical.
What it means: this is the ideal place to find out. Only that tank holds AdBlue; no component past it has drawn it in.
Your move: stay out of the driver's seat, however much the queue needs freeing. Ring us from the forecourt after the car sits in a bay — the staff will lend a hand to push it — then save the receipt. Draining it there at the pump is fine when it can't be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Keresley
Days had passed with the warning light on. A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the driveway — and it was only by the recycling that the cap got your eye. Just off Keresley Brook Road is not less likely from anywhere.
The upshot: zero miles since makes it almost as good to spotting it at the pump. On the bottom of the tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, because it will not blend with diesel — and a night passing makes nothing of the difference.
Next: prevent any early move by keeping the keys in the house, then phone us. Our technicians drain the car on your drive, whether that is around Keresley or out in Coundon Green. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.
AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Keresley?
Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard started a mile or two beyond the fill. It might have been driving to Coventry, under 3 miles away, or simply down Sandpits Lane.
The upshot: your system has pulled AdBlue through by now. The injection pump and each injector see it too on a bigger trip, after your filter and lines have it. Each restart, like each mile, pushes it deeper.
Do this: pull up somewhere sensible, then turn the motor off. On the M6, under 3 miles from Keresley, that means the next exit, not the services further on. Starting it again to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears on its own. About how far did it gone? Tell us when you call.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars
It is a motor you have had for a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or somewhere else. On this one, the inlet is just next to the diesel inlet — a surprise to you. Wherever you are in West Midlands, any motorist could be caught.
Meaning? Whatever case above counts too — run or unrun — and one further step. Work on the vehicle often needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet terms.
What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before our engineers turn up than after. If you're stranded in the car park at Coventry Arena, or by St Thomas' Church, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Keresley?
"I think so" is often the most honest as it gets. What cap was taken off, you cannot say; meanwhile the bottle feels lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia lingers by your filler. A rushed top-up by the gates of Keresley Grange Primary School, or a visit to a friend in Monks Park: either fits.
Put simply: a spill round your filler does the motor no harm. In your diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. Turning on your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it would pull it in.
What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't fire it up. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.
What every AdBlue drain in Keresley has in common
The work begins identically, whichever your case. We come to your car, whether it's on a forecourt, a drive, the car park at The Bell or a side street near Holy Family Church, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and if the engine has run. Replies shape the job; the price follows on the call whilst no one has set off yet.
Emptying that tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more vital with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go on their own, no matter how long it sits. Then is the fuel filter — flushed, or replaced when necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the vehicle. If the motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.
Our technicians fire it up at the end. Before we head off, it is checked to be sure it runs smoothly on new diesel. Long-term damage is very uncommon when it's caught quickly, and the whole job is done where your car is. Nothing is taken upfront, payment is made on the day, and you get what the insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. It is worth knowing: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your policy while you wait pays.
