Next Steps canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/may-pole-knap-somerset/ location: May Pole Knap county: Somerset latitude: 51.053310 longitude: -2.742100 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-24 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in May Pole Knap: What Now? One thing counts above all when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether the motor has run since. Wherever the vehicle is — Northfield, May Pole Knap — don't start an engine that hasn't been started yet. Usually that means emptying and thoroughly rinsing it right there in May Pole Knap — so leave the ignition and engine off and call 0333 366 0103. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. The job is bigger, yet the first step is the same. Below: the cases we see, wherever around Somerset. Pick yours. ## At the pump in May Pole Knap: AdBlue in a diesel Only at this point, nozzle yet in hand, it dawns on you that the cap you opened was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump. It might be the Esso, or the Texaco, or a different station around May Pole Knap. Put simply: there is no better spot exists to discover it. Only the tank has AdBlue; not one component beyond it has drawn it in. What to do: do not get back in and crank it to clear the pump. Ring us from the forecourt once your car sits in a space — the attendants will lend a hand to roll it — then keep the receipt. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, and so a car that cannot be pushed away gets drained where it is at the pump. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a May Pole Knap drive? On your dash, a warning had shown all week. Only by the recycling, the empty bottle in your hand, did you glance back at the cap you'd opened at the driveway. Drives near Sevenacres get it as much as anywhere. The upshot: zero miles since leaves it nearly equal to spotting it at the pump. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Next: stop any early-morning drive by keeping your keys indoors, then phone us. We drain the vehicle on your drive, whether that's around May Pole Knap or out in St Cleers. Late-night clears outside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise. ## May Pole Knap: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Somewhere along May Pole Knap or else heading towards Wells — under 15 miles away. The upshot: the system has pulled AdBlue through by now. Distance decides how far it gets: filter and pipework to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. More miles, more restarts: deeper it travels. Your move: stop somewhere sensible, then switch your motor off. May Pole Knap sits under 15 miles from the M5; there, come off at the first junction instead of pressing on to the services. Restarting it to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own. Roughly how far did it go? Say so when you call. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've had this car hardly a week. Unbeknown to you, the two inlets sit next to each other here — not like your own car, which has none or stores it in another spot. Anyone, wherever around Somerset, might do the same. The point: just as above, split by if it ran, but with an added stage. The owner frequently has to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and fleet agreements. Sorting it before we turn up is quicker, so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. If you're stuck in the car park at Yeovil Pen Mill, or by Somerton Community Library, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the car off. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, around May Pole Knap Honestly, the best answer might be that you think it did. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of King Ina Church of England Academy in a rush, perhaps, or a friend's driveway over in Somerton. What it means: a little spilled round the filler does no damage to your engine. Inside your diesel tank, however, AdBlue damages it. You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Next: act as though it got in, then leave the motor off. Inspecting a tank that proves free of AdBlue beats draining one after it's been run — so ring then tell us what you saw. ## May Pole Knap: what every AdBlue drain has in common The work begins the same way, whatever your situation. Our technicians come to the car, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Royal Oak or a side street near Brunel Shopping Precinct, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and if your motor has run. Answers set the work; the quote follows by phone whilst no one has set off yet. Then that tank is drained and the system rinsed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it doesn't rinse out on its own. The filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Where your motor hasn't been started, expect roughly half an hour once we arrive, in most jobs. Starting the car comes last. With new diesel in, it runs while our engineers check it is running smoothly, and then we leave. The whole job is done where your car is, and if it is spotted quickly, lasting damage is very unusual. Paying comes that day, never in advance. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Check your insurance while we arrive: misfuelling cover comes built into plenty of policies. ## About May Pole Knap May Pole Knap is a suburban area in Somerset, situated inland at an elevation of around 40 metres, and is located near the city of Wells.
