AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Liversedge: What Now?
One fact matters most when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if your motor has run afterwards. If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is around Liversedge itself or out in Rawfolds. Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, and expect a thorough flush plus a drain, done right where your car stands in Liversedge. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. It is a larger job, yet stage one doesn't change.
Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever across West Yorkshire it happened.
At the pump in Liversedge: AdBlue in a diesel
Imagine it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the cap you took off wasn't the right one. Whether Asda Express, Texaco or somewhere else around Liversedge, the situation is the same.
What it means: this is the ideal spot to find out. Still inside that tank, and nothing drawn through: that's where the AdBlue is.
Clearing the pump is no reason to start it — and so do not get back in. Phone us from the forecourt once your car is in a bay — the staff will help push it — and save the receipt. If it can't be shifted, it can be drained at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a working forecourt.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Liversedge
For days the dash had been nagging you. A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the drive — and it's only by the recycling that the cap caught your eye. It happens on drives just off Prospect Terrace as regularly as anywhere.
Meaning? As long as your car hasn't moved since, it's close to the forecourt case. Being unable to blend, AdBlue drops low inside your tank and stays. A night parked alters none of that.
What to do: leave your keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then call. Our technicians drain it on your driveway, whether that's in Liversedge or out in Knowler Hill. The pumping kit runs quietly enough not to disturb the street at night.
Liversedge: drove off 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. Possibly it was on Low House Fold, maybe on the way out towards Bradford, under 10 miles away.
Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue up. Past the fuel filter, through the pipework, and — the further the distance — on into the injection pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further.
What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so then switch off. Leave by the first junction — not the services beyond — if you are on the M62, under 3 miles from Liversedge. No test restarts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue will do. Call us and say how far you travelled.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars
It is a vehicle you have had for a week. Your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so no one warned you the AdBlue cap sits just beside your diesel. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in West Yorkshire.
What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Work on your vehicle often requires the owner's approval under hire or company terms.
Do this: hire firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us second, because sorting it beforehand cuts time. Stuck by Christ Church or at Mirfield till the firm answers, your vehicle remains turned off throughout.
Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Liversedge?
"I think so" is often the most honest answer there is. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Headlands Church of England Voluntary Controlled Junior, Infant and Nursery School, or on a friend's drive in Hightown.
In short: a spill near the filler leaves the engine no harm. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on your car will suck it in, and it would not tell you which either.
Next: assume it went in, and leave the engine off. Ring us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.
Liversedge: what each AdBlue drain has in common
Every case has the same start to the job. Forecourt, driveway, Lonsdale Hotel's car park or a street beside Low Fold Hall — the van comes to your vehicle, and three questions follow: what liquid, which quantity, and if it ran. Answers shape the work; the price follows on the call while nobody has set off yet.
AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to certain metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't rinse out on its own; that is why the flush, after the drain, counts much more with AdBlue than with petrol. Clean diesel is put in once your filter has been cleaned or replaced, and your car is then checked. If your motor hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.
The last step is firing it up. Our test that it runs properly on clean diesel comes before we leave. The entire job is done where the car is, and when it's spotted early, lasting damage is very rare. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. It is worth knowing: lots of insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a check of your policy as we travel is worthwhile.
