Marshfield Bank: 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 the engine has run since it got in. Not started yet? Then leave it that way, wherever your vehicle sits — Marshfield Bank or The Valley. Ring 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor both off. In Marshfield Bank, such a case is generally emptied and cleaned where it stands. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same.
Match what happened to one of the list below, wherever in Cheshire you are.
At the petrol pump around Marshfield Bank: AdBlue in a diesel
You're at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. It might be the Esso, or the Morrisons, or a different station in Marshfield Bank.
In short: no better place exists to spot it. The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in.
Next: resist the urge to fire it up only to move away from the petrol pump. Ask the staff to help you roll the vehicle into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt. If it can't be shifted, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.
Marshfield Bank, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank
On the dash, a reminder had been lit all week. Only by the recycling, the empty container in hand, did you glance back at the cap you had opened at the drive. It happens on drives just off Nevis Drive as frequently as anywhere.
The upshot: zero driving since makes this almost as good to spotting it at the pump. On the floor of your tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night passing changes nothing of the difference.
Keep the keys in the house tonight — otherwise someone might take it off first thing — and phone us. Your drive is where it is emptied, whether in Marshfield Bank or Woolstanwood. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.
On the road around Marshfield Bank with AdBlue in a diesel
A short way after filling up, your motor started playing up: roughness, smoke, lost power, lights on the dash. Maybe it was on Coppenhall Lane, maybe on the way out towards Stoke-on-Trent, under 15 miles away.
The upshot: your system has drawn AdBlue in already. It's been through the filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and your injectors. It goes deeper with every mile covered and each restart.
Do this: pull up somewhere safe, then turn your motor off. Marshfield Bank sits under 10 miles from the M6; there, pull off at the next junction instead of pushing on to the services. Do not restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Roughly what distance did it go? Say so when you phone.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
It's a car you have had for a week. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel one, which you didn't know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout Cheshire, no one is safe from it.
What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. Plenty of rental and fleet agreements require the owner's sign-off for work.
Do this: hire firm or fleet manager to begin with, us next, because sorting it beforehand saves time. Keep the car off while the answer arrives, even if you are parked at Crewe or near Legends Sports Centre.
Marshfield Bank: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Honestly, the only answer might be that you think it did. Too light, the bottle; a hint of ammonia round the filler; a hazy recollection of the cap. Look familiar? A rushed stop by the gates of Wistaston Academy, or a call to a friend in Worleston: both fits.
Put simply: a spill round the filler leaves the motor no harm. Once it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. Firing up your car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would draw it in.
Next: act as though it got in, then keep your engine off. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
Marshfield Bank: what each AdBlue drain has in common
The work opens identically, whatever your situation. Anywhere the car is — The Rising Sun's car park, a road by War Memorial, a drive, a filling station — the van arrives and asks about the fluid, the quantity, plus whether your engine has turned over. Answers set the work; the price comes on the call while no one has left yet.
A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it is crucial, since deposits form and certain metals corrode, and none of that washes away unaided. Next comes the filter — cleaned, or swapped where necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of your vehicle. Not started? In that case about half an hour on site covers most jobs.
Last, our engineers start the engine. Before our engineers go, it is checked to be sure it runs correctly on fresh diesel. Our engineers do the whole job where the car is, and long-term damage is very unusual when it has been caught early. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, nothing in advance. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours while we're on the way.
