Keep the motor and ignition off and call 0333 366 0103 first — the rest can wait when AdBlue is already in the diesel tank. Around Mount Pleasant, finding it before your engine runs normally means draining and a full flush where it stands. The rest of this page explains why it occurs and how to make sure it doesn't — handy if you're reading ahead of time. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel motor Not one fluid but two: that is how many modern diesels near Mount Pleasant and Hendre run, with diesel feeding your motor. AdBlue goes to your exhaust, where it is sprayed into the gas to fresh it, and it lives in a tank of its own. Separate tanks, separate fillers. Some cars keep the AdBlue filler in the boot or under the bonnet; a lot more place the two together under one flap. The diesel side is fuelled at the petrol pump all the time. The AdBlue side is fuelled far less often, usually from a bottle, and usually by a person who has to stop and think where it goes. Mistakes happen in the gap between them. ## How AdBlue in the diesel tank takes place around Mount Pleasant Three things tend to come together, and carelessness is rarely one of them. To start with, the warning. Low AdBlue brings a message from your car, and running dry leads to limp mode — so a rushed top-up, perhaps before work off Gorlan, or at The Old White House on the way home after work. New-to-you motors come second, too. Rentals, new vehicles and company cars put their fillers differently, and the hand goes for the cap used on the old one. A spout-topped bottle finds no obstacle at a diesel filler any more than at an AdBlue one. So the pour, once begun, carries on. It's a few seconds, be it out in Cadnant Park or bang in the centre of Mount Pleasant. ## Telling the AdBlue filler from the diesel filler Before you tip anything, whether on a driveway in Groesffordd or a forecourt in Mount Pleasant, check these. They take a few seconds. - Position can mislead; the cap doesn't. AdBlue caps tend to be blue or carry the name "AdBlue" — diesel caps normally don't. - On many vehicles, the size tells: AdBlue has the smaller filler neck. - Lift the flap and look for a label — plenty of motors mark which belongs in which inlet just there. - The handbook. If the filler isn't by the diesel cap, it's in the boot or under the bonnet, and the handbook says which. - The person who drove the vehicle last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park at Conwy, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## How to top up without AdBlue in the diesel tank On the day the warning comes on — wherever you are around Conwy — a routine to follow. - Turn off once parked — level ground, motor off, and not rushed beside Parc Sychnant at the roadside. - Locate the AdBlue filler, read the cap, and speak the name "AdBlue" aloud as unscrewing it. It seems daft. It does the trick. - Leave the diesel cap on. If both sit under one flap, check your diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle. - Using the bottle's own spout, tip slowly — and stop when it is full or the bottle is empty. - Only then, start your car: close the cap, check again, and make sure your diesel cap was never opened. Find during the second or third stage that the bottle went into the wrong filler? That's where you stop. Skip stage five altogether. ## Mount Pleasant: already put AdBlue in your diesel tank? Then the order of things is short. Don't start the motor. Leave your ignition off too, because on plenty of diesels switching it on by itself starts your pump. Thinning it with more diesel fails, because AdBlue settles to the bottom rather than mixing — and that's where the fuel is drawn from. The staff at Tesco, Shell or any forecourt will normally lend a hand pushing your car away if asked. If you're on your own drive around Mount Pleasant, leave it where it stands. Where the motor has run already, stop somewhere safe then turn the vehicle off. Mount Pleasant sits under 50 miles from the Moreton Spur; there, take the next junction.

Anywhere your car has stopped, whether outside the local primary school, beside St Benedict or on your own drive, the van travels to it. Which liquid went in, the amount, and if it ran: our engineers ask because those replies decide the work and price. That quote comes over the phone, ahead of any van leaving. Next: draining, then a full flush of the entire system. Unlike petrol, AdBlue leaves crystals and attacks certain fuel-system metals, and none of that clears out by itself. That is why it matters more. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Before we go, our technicians fire it up and make sure that it is running correctly. If your motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there, using pumps that are safe on a busy forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house at night. Nothing upfront; you settle up that day. Afterwards, a VAT invoice and the report from the engineer are handed to you for your insurer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Mount Pleasant and where it is Mount Pleasant is a suburban area in Conwy, situated on the north Wales coast, with Cadnant Park and Gyffin nearby.
