Then put this page down for now, keep the ignition and engine off, and call 0333 366 0103. Caught before the motor runs, it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Lansbury Park. Not happened yet? Further down, the page explains the why it occurs and the ways to avoid it for good. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel car Plenty of modern diesels around Caerphilly, as well as Lansbury Park, carry on two fluids; your motor takes only the diesel. Its own tank keeps it, and from there it is sent to your exhaust, and there spraying treats the gas. There's a filler for each tank. On a lot of vehicles the two sit side by side under the same flap; on others the AdBlue filler is in your boot or under the bonnet. At the petrol pump, the diesel side gets filled constantly. The AdBlue side is topped up far less frequently, normally from a bottle, and normally by someone who has to stop and think where it goes. That gap is where the error lives. ## How AdBlue in your diesel tank takes place in Lansbury Park Carelessness seldom explains it. Instead is three things coming up together. The warning comes first. As AdBlue runs low your car tells you, and if it runs out completely, your vehicle goes into limp mode. So the top-up is done in a hurry: on a driveway off Attlee Court before work, or in the car park at The Piccadilly on the way home. Then, the hand goes for the cap it would have used on the old vehicle — because a rental car, a new motor or a company car puts the fillers where your last one did not. A spouted bottle finds no resistance at a diesel filler no more than at an AdBlue one. So the pour, after started, carries on. It's a few seconds, whether in Castle Park or bang in the centre of Lansbury Park. ## The AdBlue filler and the diesel filler: telling them apart Before you tip anything, whether on a driveway in Denscombe or a forecourt in Lansbury Park, check these. They take a couple of seconds. - Check the cap rather than going by position: AdBlue caps are often blue or marked "AdBlue", and diesel caps usually are not. - On plenty of cars, the size tells: AdBlue has the smaller filler neck. - A label inside the fuel flap often says which fuel goes where, on many motors. Check for it. - The handbook says where it is when the filler is not next to the diesel cap: the boot, or under the bonnet. - Picking up a hire or company car, say at the car park at Caerphilly? Ask the person who drove it last before leaving, not when the light goes on. ## AdBlue top-ups that never reach your diesel tank When the light comes on, anywhere across Caerphilly, use this routine. - Switch off once parked — level ground, motor stopped, and not rushed by Gwaun Newydd on the verge. - Silly as it sounds, saying "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew the cap does the trick — after you've found your filler and read the cap. - If both sit under one flap, check the diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — and leave it on. - Using the bottle's own spout, tip slowly — and stop when it's full or the bottle is empty. - Before you start the car, close the cap and check again that the diesel cap was never opened off. Find at the second or third step that AdBlue went in the wrong filler? That is where you stop. Skip step five entirely. ## Already put AdBlue in your diesel tank around Lansbury Park? The short order of things, starting with no starting your motor. Do not switch your ignition on; on plenty of diesels that alone runs the fuel pump. Don't top up with diesel to thin it: AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel, it sinks to the bottom of your tank, where the fuel is sucked from. Ask the staff to help push the vehicle clear of the petrol pump if you're on a forecourt — the Morrisons, the Asda or anywhere else. On your own drive around Lansbury Park? So the vehicle remains where it is. Already run? Pull over when it's safe, then turn off. On the M4, under 3 miles from Lansbury Park, that means the next exit. Roughly how far did it go? Crossing Lansbury Park is smaller work than a run of under 10 miles to Cardiff, so say. ## Our arrival around Lansbury Park, and what takes place next Our van reaches your car anywhere it has come to rest — your own drive, beside Tonyfelin Chapel, or outside the local primary school. The replies determine the work and our quote, so we ask what was put in, roughly how much, and whether it's run. You hear that price by phone, before anybody sets off. Draining that tank comes next, then a thorough flush of the fuel system. AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not wash out on its own — which is why the flush counts more here than with petrol. The fuel filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. We do not go until it has been started and is running properly. Unstarted vehicles mostly mean a half-hour visit after the moment we arrive. The equipment is safe on a live filling station, and hushed enough for a residential street late at night. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. While we travel, have a look at your policy; plenty carry cover for misfuelling. ## About Lansbury Park itself Lansbury Park is a suburban area in Caerphilly, situated on the banks of a river at an elevation of around 75 metres.

Wherever it sits — beside Site of the first Tonyfelin Meeting House, on a lay-by en route to Coed y Maerdy, on a drive — that's where it gets emptied.
