Magheraveely: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Everything turns on a single fact: whether the engine has started after the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Anywhere the vehicle is — Wattlebridge, Magheraveely — never start an engine that has not been started yet. Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and expect a proper flush after a drain, done right where your vehicle sits around Magheraveely. Already started? Stop when safe, then turn everything off. Step one remains unchanged, even though the work is bigger.
Compare your case to a situation from the list below, wherever in County Fermanagh you happen to be.
On a Magheraveely forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel
The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you only spot it while you are stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Possibly you're at the the nearest petrol station, possibly at the another forecourt nearby, maybe somewhere else around Magheraveely.
The upshot: of every spot to notice, this is the best. Nothing has drawn it through, so the AdBlue stays only in the tank.
What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Ask the staff to help you roll the vehicle into a parking bay, keep the receipt or the bottle, and phone us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Magheraveely drive?
Days had passed with the dash light on. A bottle bought at the garage, tipped in on the drive — and it was only at the bin that the cap caught a second look. Driveways near Heugh Road see it as much as any other street.
Meaning? As long as your vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's close to the pump case. Diesel and AdBlue stay apart: the AdBlue drops to the floor of that tank and stays put, however long it waits.
Next: prevent an early-morning move by putting your keys indoors, then phone us. Aghadrumsee or Magheraveely: wherever your drive is, that's where it is drained. The equipment runs quiet enough that it won't wake the neighbours at night.
Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel around Magheraveely?
A mile or two beyond topping up, your engine began playing up: roughness, smoke, less power, warnings on your dash. Somewhere on South Crescent or heading to Armagh — under 50 miles away.
What it means: the fuel system has sucked the AdBlue in. Through the filter, along the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and every injector. More driving, more starts: further it goes.
Your move: pull up anywhere sensible, then switch your motor off. On the M77, over 50 miles from Magheraveely, that means the next junction, not the services further on. Restarting it to test achieves nothing — AdBlue never clears on its own. Phone, saying how far your car was driven.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company motors
A week ago, it was unknown to you. Unknown to you, the two fillers sit next to each other here — unlike your own car, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in County Fermanagh.
The upshot: exactly as above, divided by whether it ran, but with one added step. Plenty of rental and fleet contracts need the owner's approval for repairs.
Do this: rental firm or your fleet manager to begin with, us next, because sorting it beforehand cuts time. Keep the vehicle switched off while the reply comes, even if you're parked outside the nearest station or close to the centre.
Magheraveely: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?
"I think so" is sometimes the most honest as it gets. Too light, the bottle; a trace of ammonia round your filler; a hazy recollection of the cap. Sound familiar? The gates of the local primary school in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's drive out in Rosslea.
The upshot: your engine isn't hurt by some AdBlue splashed around the outside. If it's inside your diesel tank, though, it does. Any AdBlue in your tank would be pulled in by firing up the car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
Assume it was put in, and don't start the key. Describe what you saw on the phone. A clean tank checked is a happier result than a run one drained.
The common ground in every Magheraveely AdBlue drain
Whatever the situation, one start applies. Our technicians come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside the pub in the village or a side street close to a street just off the centre, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and whether your motor has run. The price is given on the call, before a van leaves, and the answers shape the job.
AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some metals used in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out unaided; that is why the flush, after this drain, matters far more here than with petrol. Clean diesel goes in after the fuel filter is cleaned or changed, and the car is finally tested. If your engine has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there.
We start it last. With new diesel in, it runs while we check it's running properly, and then we leave. Our technicians do the entire job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very unusual when it has been noticed quickly. Payment comes that day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Plenty of policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels.
