Not started so far? Then keep it like that, wherever your vehicle is — Mount Pleasant or Potters Green. Usually this is draining and thoroughly cleaning it right there in Mount Pleasant — so leave your key and motor off then phone 0333 366 0103. Already run? Pull over when safe, then switch everything off. A bigger job, then, but the identical first move. Compare what happened to one of the ones below, wherever across West Midlands you happen to be. ## On a Mount Pleasant forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Just at this point, nozzle yet in your hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump. Whether Asda, BP or anywhere else in Mount Pleasant, the situation is the same. The upshot: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. Still inside your tank, and no fuel pulled onwards: that's where the AdBlue is. Your move: keep out of the driver's seat, even if the queue wants freeing. Ask the attendants to help you roll the car into a parking bay, keep the receipt or the bottle, and phone us from the forecourt. If it cannot be shifted, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a working forecourt. ## Mount Pleasant, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dash had been warning you. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look again at the cap. Just off Brade Drive is not less likely from any other place. Put simply: if the vehicle hasn't been driven since, it is nearly as good as spotting it at the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue keep apart: the AdBlue settles to the base of that tank and remains there, however long it waits. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves your car in the morning. Then call. Your driveway is where it is drained, be it around Mount Pleasant or Woodway Park. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a residential street. ## Mount Pleasant: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. It might have been driving for Coventry, under 5 miles away, or simply along Turlands Close. The point: your system has drawn AdBlue through already. The injection pump and each injector see it as well on a bigger trip, once the filter and pipework have it. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: find a safe spot, pull in, and switch your engine off. Mount Pleasant lies under a mile from the M69; there, come off at the first junction instead of pushing on for the services. It will not have cleared, and so there's no point starting it again to check. About what distance had it gone? Say so as you phone. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles You've only had this car for days. Your own motor either does without AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, so nothing told you the AdBlue inlet was just next to your diesel. Any driver, wherever around West Midlands, might make it. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. Plenty of hire and fleet contracts need the owner's approval for work. What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is faster settled before we get there than after. Stuck near Walsgrave Baptist Church or outside Coventry Arena until someone replies, your car stays turned off the whole time. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Mount Pleasant "I think so" is often the most honest as it gets. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around your filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. Maybe on a friend's drive in Wyken, or rushing by Whittle Academy on the school run. Meaning? Spills around the filler never reach your engine at all. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on your car will draw it in, and it would not tell you which either. Next: assume it got in, then leave the motor off. Describe what you saw on your phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a happier result than an already-run one emptied. ## The common ground in each Mount Pleasant AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Three questions are asked when our engineers reach your car — on a forecourt, a drive, a street beside Wood's Mini Market or the car park outside The Mount Pleasant: the fluid, the amount, and whether the motor has run. Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told the price, and those replies decide the job too. Emptying your tank comes first, then a full flush — more important with urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, no matter how long it sits. Next is the fuel filter — cleaned, or replaced when needed — then fresh diesel, and a test of the car. If your motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there. The last step is starting it. Our test that it runs smoothly on clean diesel comes before our technicians head off. When it is caught quickly, the car very rarely has permanent damage, and the entire job takes place where it is. Nothing is taken upfront, payment happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Worth remembering: lots of insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your policy as we travel is worthwhile. ## About Mount Pleasant Mount Pleasant is a suburban area located near Coventry in the West Midlands, sitting at an elevation of around 80 metres.
