What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: if your engine has been run since it went in. Out in Marston Hill or right in Milton End, an unrun engine should remain that way. Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush plus a drain, done just where your vehicle stands in Milton End. Stop the moment you safely can then turn off, if it has already run. Stage one stays unchanged, even though the work is bigger. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Gloucestershire it happened. ## On a Milton End forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Just now, bottle yet in your hand, it dawns on you that the cap you opened was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump. Maybe you're at the Shell, maybe at the Texaco, perhaps somewhere else around Milton End. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it gets. Only that tank has AdBlue; not one component past it has drawn any in. Do this: stay out of the driver's seat, even if the pump needs freeing. Phone us from the forecourt once your vehicle is in a bay — the attendants will lend a hand to push it — then keep the bottle. Emptying it there at the pump is possible if it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## Milton End, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dash had been nagging you. Only at the recycling bin, the empty bottle in your hand, did you look back at the cap you had opened at the driveway. Homes just off Mill Lane get hit as often as everywhere else. Meaning? As long as your car hasn't moved since, it is close to the forecourt case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. Keep your keys indoors tonight — otherwise someone might take it off at breakfast — then call us. Our technicians drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is in Milton End or out in Fairford. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Milton End? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Fiennes Court, say, or the way to Gloucester — a trip of under 25 miles. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled into the system. Distance sets how deep it gets: filter and pipework first, then the high-pressure pump and each injector. More miles, more restarts: further it goes. Do this: pull up somewhere safe, then turn your motor off. Service stations farther on are too far: from the M4, under 15 miles out of Milton End, use the first junction. No test starts: clearing is not something AdBlue will do. Call us and say how far you drove. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles You've had the vehicle hardly a week. Your own vehicle either does without AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, and so nothing warned you the AdBlue inlet sits just beside your diesel. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Gloucestershire. The upshot: exactly as above, split by if it ran, only with an added step. Plenty of hire and company agreements want the owner to approve work on the car. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before our technicians turn up than after. Leave the car switched off while the answer arrives, whether you're parked at Swindon or close to Fairford United Church. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Milton End? At times, "I think so" is all you can truthfully say. A faint ammonia whiff hangs around your filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Fairford Church of England Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Meysey Hampton. What it means: a little spilled around the filler does no harm to your motor. A diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another matter. If there is AdBlue in the tank, starting the vehicle will draw it in, and it would not tell you which either. Assume it was put in, and don't turn your key. Ring with the details: we would sooner find a clean tank than empty one once the engine has run. ## Milton End: what each AdBlue drain has in common Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Our engineers come to the car, whether it is on a forecourt, a drive, the car park outside The Marlborough Arms or a side street near St Mary, and ask three things: what got in, roughly how much, and if the engine has run. Your price is given over the phone, ahead of anyone setting off, and the answers set the work. Draining your tank comes first, then a careful flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, no matter how long you wait. Fresh diesel is put in after your filter is flushed or changed, and your car is then tested. Never started? In that case about half an hour on site covers most jobs. The final step is firing it up. Our test that it runs smoothly on fresh diesel comes before we go. Lasting damage is very unusual when it's spotted quickly, and the whole job is done where the vehicle is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling, so check yours while the van travels. ## About Milton End and where it is Milton End is a suburban area situated on the shores of a lake in Gloucestershire, with a mix of detached housing and natural scenery.
