Then set this page down a moment, leave your ignition and motor off, then phone 0333 366 0103. Caught before the engine runs, it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is in Low Barugh. Not happened yet? Further down, the page covers the why it takes place and the ways to prevent it for good. ## AdBlue in a diesel vehicle, and its separate tank No single fluid but two: that's what many modern diesels near Low Barugh and Darton run, with diesel for your engine. AdBlue goes to your exhaust, where it is sprayed into the gas to fresh it, and it lives in a tank of its own. There's a filler for every tank. Under one flap, next to each other: that's the layout on many motors. Elsewhere, AdBlue's filler sits under the bonnet or in the boot instead. The diesel side is filled at the pump all the time. A driver who has to stop and think where it goes normally tops up the AdBlue side, from a bottle, and much less frequently. It's in the gap that the slip happens. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank in Low Barugh: how it takes place It is rarely carelessness. Three things tend to line up. First, the warning. Low AdBlue brings a warning from the vehicle, and running out means limp mode — so a hurried top-up, perhaps before work off Dearne Hall Road, or outside Royal Hotel on the way home after work. The old car's filler is where the hand reaches — yet a rental car, a new car or a company car keeps the fillers somewhere else. That's the second factor: a strange vehicle. A spout-topped bottle meets no resistance at a diesel filler no more than at an AdBlue one. So the pour, once begun, carries on. The same few seconds settle it, in the middle of Low Barugh or out in Barugh. ## How to tell the AdBlue filler from the diesel one Before you pour anything, whether on a drive in Higham or a forecourt around Low Barugh, check these. They take a few seconds. - The cap. The AdBlue cap is frequently blue, or marked "AdBlue". The diesel cap usually isn't. Read it instead of going by position. - Look at the size: the smaller neck is, on many cars, the AdBlue one. - Look inside the fuel flap: many cars have a label there showing which fuel goes where. - The handbook. If the filler is not by your diesel cap, it is in your boot or under the bonnet, and the handbook says which. - The person who drove it last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Darton, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## AdBlue top-ups that never reach your diesel tank Wherever around South Yorkshire the light comes on, this is a routine for that day. - Pull in on level, engine off, with time in hand — not rushing on the side of Dearne Hall Park. - Find the AdBlue filler, check the cap, and speak the word "AdBlue" aloud as unscrewing it. It sounds daft. It does the trick. - Both under one flap? Then confirm the cap on the diesel filler stays closed ahead of lifting the bottle. - Gently is best, through the bottle's own spout, till it is full or the bottle runs out. - Before starting your car, shut the cap and look again that your diesel cap never opened off. If at step two or three you find you have already poured into the diesel side, stop there. Step five is out. ## Put AdBlue in your diesel tank around Low Barugh already? Short list, then. Top of that: the engine stays off. Don't switch your ignition on; on many diesels that alone runs the fuel pump. Diluting it with more diesel fails, because AdBlue settles to the bottom instead of mixing — and that is where your fuel is sucked from. If you're at a forecourt, whether it's the the nearest petrol station or the Jet, ask the staff to help push your car clear of the petrol pump. Leave it where it is if you're on your own drive around Low Barugh. Already started? Stop once it is sensible, then switch off. Come off the M1 — under a mile out of Low Barugh — at the next exit. Mileage matters — a short hop across Low Barugh makes a smaller job than driving under 10 miles to Wakefield — so tell us roughly how far it went. ## When we turn up around Low Barugh, what takes place? Our technicians come to your car wherever it has stopped, whether that's outside Darton Primary School, close to All Saints or on your own driveway. Both the work and our price depend on three replies — which liquid, what amount, and whether it's run — so we ask. The quote comes over the phone, before any van leaves. The system is then cleaned thoroughly, once the tank is emptied. AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it does not wash out on its own — which is why that matters more here than with petrol. A test comes at the end: before that, clean diesel is added, and your filter is cleaned or replaced as needed. We don't go until it has been started and is running smoothly. If your motor hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there, using pumps that are fine on a busy forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house at night. Paying is on the day, not upfront, and you receive the documents your insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Before we get there, have a look at your policy; many carry cover for misfuelling. ## About Low Barugh, briefly Low Barugh is a suburban area situated on the riverside in South Yorkshire, with a mix of detached housing and local amenities.
