Next Steps canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/kings-furlong-hampshire/ location: Kings Furlong county: Hampshire latitude: 51.257280 longitude: -1.099480 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-17 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Kings Furlong: What Now? What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: whether your motor has been run since it got in. Out in West Ham or right in Kings Furlong, an unrun engine must stay that way. Leave your motor and the ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Kings Furlong. When the engine has been run, pull in safely straight away, then switch the car off. A larger job, yes, but the same first step. Match what happened to a situation from the ones below, wherever in Hampshire you are. ## On a Kings Furlong forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Just at this point, bottle yet in your hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the petrol pump. Be it Morrisons, BP or anywhere else around Kings Furlong, the case is the same. The upshot: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Your move: keep out of the car, however much the pump wants freeing. Ask the attendants to help you push the car into a parking space, keep the receipt or the bottle, and ring us from the forecourt. If it can't be moved, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt. ## Kings Furlong, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank Days had gone by with the dash light on. Picked up a bottle, poured it in at home, recycled the empty — and at that point looked at the cap a second time, too late. Just off Larkspur Gardens is not different from any other place. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. At the floor of your tank sits exactly where AdBlue stays, because it will not blend with diesel — and a night passing makes nothing of the difference. Next: stop an early-morning drive by putting your keys in the house, then phone us. Your drive is where it gets emptied, be it around Kings Furlong or South Ham. The equipment runs quiet enough that it won't wake the neighbours at night. ## On the road in Kings Furlong with AdBlue in a diesel You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Anywhere along Winchester Road or else on the road to Winchester — under 25 miles away. What it means: the system has sucked the AdBlue in. Through your filter, along the pipework, and — the further the mileage — on into the injection pump and every injector. It travels deeper with every mile covered and every restart. Do this: stop somewhere sensible, then turn the engine off. Kings Furlong lies under a mile from the M3; on it, pull off at the next junction instead of pressing on for the services. Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Tell us know the distance covered as you ring. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car Seven days ago, the car was new to you. On your own car, AdBlue is absent or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is right by the diesel inlet — a surprise to you. Wherever you happen to be around Hampshire, any motorist can slip up. In short: an extra step on top of the situations above, which depend on whether it's run. Many hire and company agreements need the owner's sign-off for repairs. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before our engineers arrive than after. Hanging on for a reply at the car park outside Basingstoke, or beside Wrought Iron Gates? Leave the engine off meanwhile. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Kings Furlong? "I think so" is sometimes the most honest answer there is. Lighter, that bottle; a hint of ammonia near the filler; a hazy recollection of which cap. Look familiar? Maybe at a friend's driveway in Black Dam, or in a rush by Kings Furlong Junior School on the school run. Meaning? Spills outside the inlet don't touch your engine at all. A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on the vehicle will suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. What to do: treat it as if it was put in. Don't crank it. Describe what you noticed on your phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a happier outcome than a run one emptied. ## Every AdBlue drain around Kings Furlong shares these stages Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Our engineers come to the vehicle, whether it is on a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside King of Wessex or a side street near War Memorial, and ask three things: what got in, roughly how much, and whether your engine has run. The price is given on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and those replies set the work. Draining your tank comes next, then a full flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long it sits. Then comes the filter — flushed, or swapped when needed — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the car. Never started? In that case roughly half an hour on site covers most jobs. Last, our engineers start it. Before our technicians leave, it is tested to make sure it runs smoothly on new diesel. When it is spotted quickly, the car very seldom has permanent damage, and the whole job happens where it is. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money upfront. Many policies include misfuelling, and so look at yours as we head over. ## About Kings Furlong and where it is Kings Furlong is a suburban area in Hampshire, situated inland at an elevation of 87 metres, and forms part of the larger Basingstoke urban area.
