What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if your motor has been run since it was put in. Over in Rock or here around Killay, an unstarted motor should stay unrun. Keep nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, done just where the vehicle stands in Killay. Stop the moment you safely can then turn off, if it has already run. The job is bigger, but the first step is the same. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around County Tyrone it happened. ## Killay forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump You're at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. It could be the the nearest petrol station, or perhaps the another forecourt nearby, or another station in Killay. Meaning? Finding out here is as good as it can be. Just your tank holds AdBlue; not one part past it has drawn it in. Do this: keep out of the car, even if the queue wants freeing. Ring us from the forecourt after your car sits in a bay — the attendants will lend a hand to roll it — then keep the bottle. Can't move the vehicle beside the pump? Explosion-proof kit makes a busy forecourt safe, and so it can be drained in place. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Killay For days the dash had been nagging you. A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the drive — and it was only at the bin that the cap got your eye. Drives near B842 get it as much as any other street. In short: if your car hasn't been driven since, it is nearly as good as spotting it at the pump. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Keep the keys indoors tonight — or a person may drive it away first thing — then phone us. Out in Pomeroy or right here in Killay, the drain happens on your drive. Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Killay? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. It might have been heading to Armagh, under 25 miles away, or simply down Dunaverty Court. Meaning? The fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue in. Distance sets how far it gets: filter and pipework to begin with, then the injection pump and each injector. More miles, more starts: deeper it goes. Stop safely — that's the next job — then switch it off. Exit by the next junction — not the services further along — if you're on the M77, over 50 miles from Killay. No trial starts: clearing isn't something AdBlue will do. Call, saying how far the vehicle was driven. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You have had this car hardly a week. Your own car either does without AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, so no one told you the AdBlue cap sits right next to your diesel. Across County Tyrone, nobody is immune. Meaning? Whichever applies above applies here — run or not — plus one further stage. Any work on the car frequently requires the owner's go-ahead under rental or fleet terms. Settling it before we arrives is quicker, and so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. Keep the vehicle switched off while the reply arrives, even if you're waiting outside the nearest station or near the centre. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Killay? Sometimes the honest answer is "I think so". Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Look familiar? It might have been at a friend's drive in Altmore, or in a rush outside the local primary school on the school run. What it means: a little spilled about your filler does no damage to your engine. Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, it does. Firing up your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would pull it in. Your move: behave as though it did, and don't start the motor. Describe what you noticed on your phone. A clear tank looked at counts as a happier outcome than an already-run one emptied. ## What every AdBlue drain in Killay has in common The work begins the same way, whatever the situation. Filling station, driveway, the pub in the village's car park or a road by a street just off the centre — the van comes to the car, and three answers follow: what liquid, what amount, and whether it ran. The price is given on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and the answers shape the work. AdBlue crystallises and eats at some metals used in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out unaided; that's why the flush, after this drain, matters much more here than with petrol. Finally come the fuel filter, flushed or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a check of the vehicle. Most unrun cars are a half-hour visit after the moment we get there. Starting the car comes at the end. Our engineers check it runs smoothly on clean diesel before leaving. Permanent damage is very unusual when it is caught quickly, and the entire job is done where the vehicle is. Nothing is paid upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you get what the insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. It is worth knowing: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy while you wait pays. ## About Killay, for a moment Killay is a small locality in County Tyrone, situated inland at an elevation of 152 metres.
