AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Ladyes Hills, and What to Do Next
Has your motor turned over since the AdBlue got in? That one question decides almost everything about what comes next. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is in Ladyes Hills itself or out in Crackley. Leave your motor and the ignition off and call 0333 366 0103; it's usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Ladyes Hills. Stop the minute it is safe then turn off, if it has been run. The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same.
Anywhere around Warwickshire it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.
Ladyes Hills forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
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. Whether Esso, Texaco or somewhere else in Ladyes Hills, the case is the same.
In short: there is no better spot exists to discover it. The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in.
Next: resist the urge to fire it up just to move away from the pump. Three things: a push into a space with the staff assisting, the receipt saved, and a call to us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Ladyes Hills
The warning light had been on for days. A bottle from the garage, tipped in on the driveway — and it was just by the recycling that the cap caught your eye. Homes just off Tainters Hill are caught out as often as everywhere else.
Meaning? As long as the car hasn't moved since, it is close to the pump case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that.
Your move: keys in the house, and so nobody drives the vehicle off at breakfast. After that, ring. We drain the car on your drive, whether that is around Ladyes Hills or out in Mill End. Late-night empties beside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise.
Ladyes Hills: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel?
A mile or two beyond filling up, your engine began misbehaving: roughness, smoke, less power, lights on the dash. Lower Ladyes Hills, say, or the route towards Coventry — a run of under 5 miles.
What it means: your fuel system has drawn the AdBlue in. The high-pressure pump and each injector see it too on a bigger trip, after the fuel filter and pipework have it. It goes deeper with each mile covered and every restart.
What to do: pull over where it's safe to do so and switch off. Leave by the next junction — not the services further along — if you're on the M40, under 10 miles from Ladyes Hills. No trial starts: clearing isn't something AdBlue will do. Roughly how far had it go? Say so as you phone.
Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank
You have had the vehicle hardly a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is right next to the diesel inlet — news to you. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Warwickshire.
Meaning? Whichever case above applies here — run or unrun — plus one further stage. The owner often has to approve any work, under plenty of rental and company agreements.
Sorting it before the van turn up is faster, so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Stuck near St. Barnabas Church or at Kenilworth until the firm answers, your vehicle remains switched off the whole time.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Ladyes Hills?
"I think so" is often as honest as it gets. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at St Nicholas CofE Primary School, or on a friend's drive in The Spring.
The upshot: your engine is not harmed by some AdBlue splashed on the outside. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, turning on the vehicle will draw it in, and it would not tell you which either.
Take it that it was put in, and don't turn the engine. Inspecting a tank that turns out clean beats draining one after it's been run — so phone then describe to us what you saw.
What each AdBlue drain in Ladyes Hills has in common
Every case has the same opening to the job. Three things come once we arrive — at a filling station, a driveway, a road by Bridge Street WWII Air Raid Shelter or the car park outside The Royal Oak: the fluid, the quantity, and whether the motor has run. Your price is given on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and the replies shape the work.
A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it's essential, because deposits form and certain metals corrode, and neither washes away unaided. Clean diesel goes in once the fuel filter has been cleaned or changed, and the car is finally tested. The majority of unstarted cars are a half-hour visit from the moment we get there.
Firing it up comes at the end. Our technicians confirm it runs smoothly on clean diesel before we go. When it is noticed soon, the car very seldom has lasting damage, and the entire job happens where it is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way.
