--- title: Land Part: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank, What Next canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/land-part-devon/ location: Land Part county: Devon latitude: 50.686950 longitude: -3.238830 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-10 --- # Land Part: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: whether your engine has been run since it went in. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is in Land Part itself or out in Eastern Town. Leave your motor and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Land Part. Stop the minute it is safe then turn off, if it has been run. Step one remains unchanged, even though the job grows. Anywhere in Devon it happened, one of the cases below matches yours. ## At the petrol pump around Land Part: AdBlue in a diesel The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you just spot it as you are standing at the pump, bottle or nozzle in your hand. Whether the nearest petrol station, East Budleigh Garage or somewhere else in Land Part, the situation is the same. What it means: this is the best location to find out. Just the tank holds AdBlue; not one component beyond it has taken it in. What to do: do not get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Ask the attendants to help you roll the car into a parking space, keep the till receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt. If it can't be moved, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt. ## Land Part, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank Days had passed with the warning light on. Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in hand, did you glance back at the cap you'd used on the driveway. It takes place on drives just off Denbiegh Terrace as often as anywhere. Meaning? Provided the car hasn't moved since, it is close to the forecourt case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Your move: keys indoors, and so nobody drives the car off first thing. Then, phone. Out in Sidmouth or right here in Land Part, the draining happens on your driveway. Late-night clears beside a house are no problem: the pumps are low-noise. ## Land Part: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Possibly it was on Peaslands Road, perhaps on the way out towards Exeter, under 15 miles away. The point: your system has pulled AdBlue through by now. It has been through the filter and the lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Every restart, like every mile, pushes it deeper. Your move: stop somewhere safe, then turn your engine off. Leave at the next junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M5, under 10 miles from Land Part. Do not restart it to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Roughly what distance did it go? Tell us as you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car You've only driven the car for days. Your own car either does without AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so no one told you the AdBlue inlet sits just beside your diesel. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Devon. Meaning? Whichever applies above counts too — run or unrun — and one further stage. Plenty of rental and company contracts need the owner's approval for repairs. Your move: hire firm or your fleet manager first, us next, since sorting it beforehand cuts time. If you're stranded in the car park outside Feniton, or by Woolcombe Hall, whilst you wait for an answer, leave your car off. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Land Part? Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". A slight ammonia-like smell lingers near the filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Sidmouth Church of England (VA) Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Lower Woolbrook. What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no damage to the engine. A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story. You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Next: act as though it went in, and keep the engine off. Tell us what you saw on the phone. A clean tank checked is a better result than an already-run one emptied. ## Each AdBlue drain around Land Part shares these stages Each situation gets the same start to the job. Filling station, drive, Volunteer Inn's car park or a street by Sidmouth Amateur Dramatic Society — our van reaches the car, and three questions follow: what liquid, which quantity, and if it ran. The price comes on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and those replies shape the work. Draining that tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more important after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't clear on their own, no matter how long it sits. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. If the motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. The final step is firing it up. Our check that it runs properly on fresh diesel comes before our engineers go. Our technicians do the whole job where the car is, and long-term damage is very rare when it has been caught soon. 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, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Land Part itself Land Part is a suburban area in Devon, situated on the coast at a relatively low elevation of 28 metres.
