--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Loansdean: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/loansdean-northumberland/ location: Loansdean county: Northumberland latitude: 55.154450 longitude: -1.695530 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-02 --- # Loansdean: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if your engine has been run since it got in. Not run yet? Then leave the car that way, whether the car is — Loansdean or Stobhill. Normally that means emptying and properly cleaning it on the spot around Loansdean — so keep the key and engine off then phone 0333 366 0103. When your motor has run, pull in somewhere safe first, then switch the vehicle off. The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same. Anywhere around Northumberland it took place, one of the situations below matches yours. ## At the pump in Loansdean: AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: standing by the petrol pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the cap you opened wasn't the correct one. Possibly you're at the the nearest petrol station, perhaps at the Morrisons, perhaps somewhere else in Loansdean. In short: no better spot exists to spot it. The AdBlue is inside that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. What to do: don't get back in and start it to clear the petrol pump. Three jobs: a shove into a bay with the staff assisting, the receipt saved, and a ring to us from the forecourt. If it cannot be moved, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Loansdean The warning light had been on for days. Bought a bottle, poured it in at home, recycled the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, after the fact. Right off Middle Gate is no less likely from anywhere. Meaning? Provided the vehicle hasn't moved since, it is close to the forecourt case. At the floor of the tank is where AdBlue waits, since it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the car in the morning. Then ring. High Church or Loansdean: whichever your driveway is, that is where it is emptied. The equipment works quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Loansdean: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? Filled up, pulled away, and soon your engine was turning unevenly, smoking, down on power, or lighting up your dash. Perhaps it was on The Avenue, perhaps on the way out towards Newcastle upon Tyne, under 15 miles away. In short: the AdBlue has been pulled through your fuel system. Through the filter, through the pipework, and — the further the mileage — on into the injection pump and every injector. It goes further with each mile driven and each restart. Stop somewhere safe — that's the next step — then turn it off. On the A167(M), under 15 miles from Loansdean, that means the next junction, not the services further on. Don't restart the vehicle to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone, saying what distance the vehicle went. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car It is a car you have had for a week. The AdBlue filler is right next to the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Anywhere you are across Northumberland, every motorist can be caught. The upshot: exactly as above, split by whether it ran, only with one added step. The owner frequently needs to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and company agreements. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before our technicians arrive than after. Leave the vehicle switched off as the reply arrives, even if you're waiting at Morpeth or close to Morpeth Golf Club Clubhouse. ## Loansdean: unsure whether it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? Truthfully, the only answer may be that you think it did. Lighter, the bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; no clear memory of the cap. Look familiar? The gates of Morpeth First School in a rush, say, or a friend's driveway out in Morpeth. What it means: a little spilled around the filler does no damage to your motor. In the diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue harms it. You can't tell which by turning the key, and doing so will suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank. Assume it went in, and don't turn the key. Describe what you saw on your phone. A clean tank checked is a happier result than a run one emptied. ## The common ground in each Loansdean AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. We come to your car, whether it's on a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside The Sun Inn or a side street close to St Mary the Virgin Church, and ask three things: what went in, roughly how much, and whether your motor has run. Those replies settle this work, and you hear the quote on the phone, before anybody sets off. Draining that tank comes next, then a careful flush — more important after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't clear on their own, no matter how long it sits. Last come the filter, flushed or replaced if necessary; fresh diesel; and a test of your vehicle. If your engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Our technicians start the car last. With fresh diesel in, it runs while we make sure it's running correctly, and then we go. Permanent damage is very uncommon when it's noticed early, and the entire job is done where the vehicle is. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money in advance. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Loansdean Loansdean is a locality situated on the riverside in Northumberland, with an elevation of 57 metres above sea level.
