What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Moygashel
One fact counts above all once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if the motor has been started since. Not run so far? Then keep it that way, whether the vehicle sits — Moygashel or Eglish. Switch nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, then count on a proper flush plus a drain, done right where the car sits in Moygashel. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. Stage one stays unchanged, even though the work is bigger.
Anywhere across County Tyrone it took place, one of the cases below fits yours.
Moygashel forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
You're 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. It could be the the nearest petrol station, or the another forecourt nearby, or another station in Moygashel.
The upshot: of every spot to notice, this is the best. Still in that tank, with no fuel drawn through: that's where the AdBlue sits.
Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to start it — and so do not get back in. Have the staff to lend a hand pushing it to a bay, save the bottle, then ring us right there. Stuck by the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof kit makes a busy forecourt safe, and so we can drain it where it is.
At home in Moygashel with AdBlue in your diesel tank
The warning light had been on for days. A bottle bought at the shop, emptied in on the drive — and it was only by the recycling that the cap got your eye. Homes just off Heugh Road are hit as much as anywhere else.
What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. At the floor of your tank sits exactly where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night passing makes no difference.
Next: stop an early-morning drive by putting your keys in the house, then ring us. Dungannon or Moygashel: whichever your drive is, that's where it is cleared. Our equipment runs quietly enough that it won't wake the street at night.
On the road around Moygashel with AdBlue in a diesel
Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard arrived a short way beyond the top-up. Possibly it was on Chalet Road, possibly on the way out towards Armagh, under 15 miles away.
Meaning? Your pump has taken the AdBlue in. Distance decides how far it goes: filter and pipework to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector. More driving, more restarts: further it travels.
What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. Exit at the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M77, over 50 miles from Moygashel. No trial restarts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue will do. Call us and say how far you drove.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
A week ago, it was unknown to you. The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout County Tyrone, nobody is safe from 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 agreements need the owner's sign-off before work.
Settling it before we turn up is quicker, and so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Leave it off as the answer comes, whether you're parked outside the nearest station or close to the centre.
Moygashel: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?
Now and then, "I think so" is the most anyone can truthfully say. Lighter, the bottle; a hint of ammonia near your filler; no clear memory of the cap. Look familiar? Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at the local primary school, or on a friend's drive in Moy.
Put simply: spillage near your filler leaves the motor no harm. The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another story. Any AdBlue in that tank will be drawn in by starting the vehicle, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
Next: assume it got in, and leave the engine off. Tell us what you saw on the phone. A clean tank looked at is a happier outcome than a run one emptied.
The common ground in each Moygashel AdBlue drain
No matter the case, one opening is used. Three things are asked once our technicians reach the car — on a filling station, a driveway, a road by a street just off the centre or the car park outside the pub in the village: the fluid, the amount, and whether the motor has run. The price is given over the phone, ahead of anyone setting off, and those answers set the work.
A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it's crucial, because deposits form and certain metals are attacked, and neither washes away unaided. Next is your filter — flushed, or swapped where necessary — then fresh diesel, and a test of your car. If your engine has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there.
Our engineers start it at the end. Our check that it runs smoothly on new diesel comes before our technicians head off. Our technicians do the entire job where your car is, and long-term damage is very uncommon when it has been spotted quickly. Payment comes that day, never upfront. For the insurer, you get a VAT invoice and a written report from the engineer. Check your insurance while we arrive: cover for misfuelling comes built into plenty of policies.
