# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Mickley Square, and What to Do Next

Has the motor run since the AdBlue was put in? That one point settles almost everything about what comes next.

Out in High Mickley or here in Mickley Square, an unstarted engine should stay that way.

Normally this is draining and thoroughly cleaning it right there around Mickley Square — and so keep the ignition and motor off and call 0333 366 0103.

Already started? Pull over once safe, then switch it off.

A larger job, yes, yet the identical opening move.

Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around Northumberland it happened.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Mickley Square forecourt

Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you realise the filler you took off was not the right one.

It could be the Esso, or perhaps the Gulf, or a different station around Mickley Square.

The upshot: of every spot to find out, the forecourt is the best.

Only that tank has AdBlue; not one part past it has taken it in.

Do this: stay out of the car, however much the queue needs clearing.

Ask the attendants to help you push your car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, then call us from the forecourt.

If it can't be moved, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt.

## At home around Mickley Square with AdBlue in the diesel tank

On your dash, a reminder had shown for days.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in hand, did you look back at the cap you had used on the driveway.

It takes place on driveways just off Chapel Row as commonly as anywhere.

What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt.

At the floor of your tank is where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by makes no difference.

Next: prevent an early-morning drive by putting your keys in the house, then phone us.

West Mickley or Mickley Square: whichever your driveway is, that's where it is cleared.

The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.

## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Mickley Square?

You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard.

Anywhere on Eastgate Bank or heading to Newcastle upon Tyne — under 15 miles away.

The point: the system has drawn AdBlue through by now.

Through the filter, through the lines, and — the further the mileage — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Stop safely — that is the first step — then switch everything off.

Service stations farther along can wait: from the Central Motorway East, under 15 miles out of Mickley Square, take the first junction.

No test starts: clearing is not something AdBlue will do.

Call, saying how far your car went.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

It is a motor you have had for a week.

Unknown to you, the two inlets are next to each other here — unlike your own vehicle, which has none or stores it in another spot.

Wherever you are across Northumberland, any motorist could be caught.

Put simply: an extra step on top of the situations above, and those turn on whether it's run.

Plenty of hire and fleet agreements require the owner's approval before repairs.

Do this: hire firm or fleet manager first, us next, since sorting it beforehand cuts time.

Stuck near St. George's, Mickley or outside Prudhoe until someone replies, the car remains switched off throughout.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, in Mickley Square

Sometimes the fair answer is "I think so".

Which cap was taken off, you cannot recall; but the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia lingers by your filler.

It might have been at a friend's drive in Edgewell, or in a rush outside Mickley First School on the school run.

Put simply: a spill near your filler does your engine no harm.

AdBlue inside your diesel tank does.

You cannot tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank.

Take it that it was put in, and don't turn your key.

Phone with what you saw: we would sooner confirm a clean tank than empty one after your motor has run.

## The common ground in each Mickley Square AdBlue drain

Whichever scenario you are in, the job starts the same way.

Filling station, drive, Mickley & District Social Club's car park or a street by Cherryburn - Thomas Bewick Museum — the van comes to your vehicle, and three answers come next: which fluid, which quantity, and if it has run.

Those answers determine the work, and you hear our quote by phone, before anyone heads out.

AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to certain metals 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.

The filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested.

The majority of unrun vehicles are a half-hour visit after the moment our engineers arrive.

Firing it up comes last.

With new diesel in, it runs while we confirm it is running correctly, and then we leave.

We do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very unusual if it has been caught soon.

For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money in advance.

Plenty of insurance policies cover misfuelling, and so check yours as we head over.
