Find Your Situation One fact counts most when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether the engine has run afterwards. Wherever the car stands — Old Fold, Mount Pleasant — never start a motor that has not run yet. Ring 0333 366 0103 with the key and motor both off. In Mount Pleasant, such a case is typically drained and flushed where it stands. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. Step one stays the same, even if the job is bigger. Anywhere across Tyne and Wear it happened, one of the cases below fits yours. ## On a Mount Pleasant forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel You are 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. Be it Esso, JET or somewhere else in Mount Pleasant, the case is the same. The point: of every spot to find out, this is the best. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the petrol pump. Three jobs: a shove into a space with the attendants assisting, the receipt saved, and a ring to us from where you stand. If it cannot be shifted, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a working forecourt. ## At home around Mount Pleasant with AdBlue in your diesel tank Days had gone by with the warning light on. Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, binned the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, after the fact. Just off Clyde Street is not different from anywhere. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Put the keys indoors overnight — otherwise a person may drive it away at breakfast — and call us. Our engineers drain the vehicle on your drive, whether that is in Mount Pleasant or out in Deckham. The equipment runs quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Mount Pleasant? Topped up, drove away, and before long the engine was running roughly, smoking, losing power, or flashing up your dash. It might have been heading for Newcastle upon Tyne, under 3 miles away, or just down Thames Street. Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue in. Past the filter, through the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and each injector. It travels deeper with each mile driven and every restart. Your move: pull up somewhere sensible, then switch the engine off. Exit by the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the Central Motorway East, under 3 miles from Mount Pleasant. No trial restarts: clearing isn't something AdBlue does. Tell us hear the mileage driven as you ring. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car You have just had this car a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or elsewhere. On this one, its inlet is just by the diesel cap — a surprise to you. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Tyne and Wear. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. The owner frequently needs to sign off any work, under plenty of rental and company contracts. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before our engineers arrive than after. If you are stranded in the car park at Heworth, or by The Shakey, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Mount Pleasant? "I think so" is often the most honest answer there is. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around the filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of South Street Community Primary School in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's driveway out in Felling. What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no damage to your motor. In your diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. You can't tell which by turning the key, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Do not start it. Checking a tank that turns out free of AdBlue beats draining one once it's been run — so ring and describe to us what you saw. ## Each AdBlue drain in Mount Pleasant shares these steps Whatever the case, one start is used. Anywhere your car stands — The Plough's car park, a street by Emmanuel Pentecostal Church, a driveway, a forecourt — the van arrives and asks about the fluid, the quantity, plus whether your engine has turned over. Those replies decide the work, and you hear our price on the phone, before anybody sets off. AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to some metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't wash out on its own; that is why a full flush, after this drain, matters much more here than with petrol. Last come the filter, flushed or replaced if necessary; clean diesel; and a test of your car. The majority of unstarted vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment we arrive. Firing it up comes at the end. With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians make sure it's running smoothly, and then we go. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very uncommon if it has been noticed soon. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, nothing in advance. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it's worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Mount Pleasant Mount Pleasant is a suburban area located inland in Tyne and Wear, approximately 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne.
