A drain and a thorough flush, carried out just where the vehicle stands in Market Warsop, is normally all it needs when caught before the motor runs. If you are reading before it has happened, the remainder of this page is about why it happens and how to make sure it doesn't. ## Why does AdBlue in a diesel car need its own filler? Plenty of current diesels on the roads about Market Warsop and Sookholme carry two liquids, not one. Diesel goes to your motor. AdBlue's own tank holds it, and from there it is sent to the exhaust, and there spraying cleans the gas. Each tank has its own filler. Under one flap, next to each other: that is the layout on many motors. Elsewhere, AdBlue's filler is under the bonnet or in your boot instead. At the petrol pump, your diesel side is topped up constantly. Rarely filled, AdBlue normally goes in out of a bottle, poured by someone who has to stop and think which cap it needs. The mistake lives in that gap. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank around Market Warsop: how it occurs Carelessness seldom explains it. Instead is three things lining up together. The warning comes first. As AdBlue runs low the vehicle 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 drive off Sherwood Street before work, or in the car park at The Talbot on the way home. Unfamiliar motors come next, too. Hire cars, new motors and company cars put their fillers in new places, and the hand goes for the cap used on the old one. And the bottle fits. A bottle with a spout goes into a diesel filler as easily as an AdBlue one, and so nothing stops the tip once it has started. Church Warsop or the middle of Market Warsop: it takes the same few seconds in both. ## The AdBlue filler and the diesel filler: telling them apart Before you tip anything, whether on a driveway in Meden Vale or a forecourt in Market Warsop, check these. They take a couple of seconds. - The cap. The AdBlue cap is regularly blue, or marked "AdBlue". The diesel cap normally isn't. Read it rather than going by position. - The size. On many cars the AdBlue filler neck is the smaller of the two. - Look inside the fuel flap: plenty of vehicles carry a label there saying which fuel goes where. - In your boot or under the bonnet: that's where your filler sits if it is not by your diesel cap, and the handbook tells you which. - The person who drove the car last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Shirebrook, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## Topping up AdBlue without it reaching the diesel tank A routine for the day the light comes on, wherever across Nottinghamshire that is. - Park then switch off. Not on a slope, not with your engine running, and not in a rush on the side of High Street. - Locate the AdBlue filler, read the cap, and say the word "AdBlue" out loud while unscrewing it. It sounds silly. It does the trick. - If both sit under one flap, check your diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle — then leave it on. - Gently is best, through the bottle's own spout, till it's full or the bottle runs out. - Close the cap, and check again — confirm the diesel cap stayed shut throughout. After that, start the car. Find during the second or third step that AdBlue went in the diesel filler? That is where you stop. Never go on to step five. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank already, around Market Warsop? Then the order of things is short. Don't start the motor. Keep the ignition off as well, because on plenty of diesels it alone starts your pump. Don't top up with diesel to dilute it: AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel, it sinks to the bottom of that tank, where your fuel is drawn from. Ask the staff to help roll the vehicle clear of the pump if you are on a forecourt — the JET, the Welbeck Service Station or somewhere else. Leave it where it is if you're on your own driveway around Market Warsop. Already run? Stop once it's sensible, then turn off. Come off the M1 — under 10 miles out of Market Warsop — at the next junction. A short hop across Market Warsop is a smaller job than a run towards Nottingham, under 25 miles away, and so tell us about how far it went. ## Our arrival around Market Warsop, and what takes place next Our technicians come to the car wherever it has stopped, whether that is outside Birklands Primary School, close to Boyes or on your own driveway. Our engineers ask what got in, roughly how much, and if it's run, because those replies decide this work and the quote. During the call itself, you are told our quote — ahead of anything else. Then your tank is drained and the fuel system cleaned thoroughly. Much more than with petrol, it matters here: crystals build up, some metals corrode, and none of it clears away on its own, however long it sits. After your filter has been flushed — or renewed, where required — clean diesel is added, and finally the vehicle gets tested. Then our technicians start the car and make sure it runs correctly before we leave. Using pumps safe on a busy forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house at night, most jobs where the engine hasn't run take roughly half an hour once our technicians arrive. Your insurer usually wants an engineer's report and the VAT invoice, and both are yours once the job is done. Payment is on the day, with no money upfront. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours whilst we are on the way. ## About Market Warsop, for a moment Market Warsop is a town situated in the county of Nottinghamshire, on the banks of the River Meden at an elevation of around 61 metres.
