--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Murrayfield? Next Steps canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/murrayfield-city-of-edinburgh/ location: Murrayfield county: City of Edinburgh latitude: 55.947610 longitude: -3.246980 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-22 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Murrayfield All of that hinges on a single detail: if the motor has been run after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Not run yet? Then leave the vehicle like that, whether your car is — Murrayfield or Orchard Brae. Leave the motor and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it's normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Murrayfield. Pull over the minute it is safe then turn off, if it has been run. Stage one remains the same, even if the work is bigger. Anywhere across City of Edinburgh it took place, one of the situations below fits yours. ## Murrayfield forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Just at this point, bottle yet in hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump. Maybe you are at the Esso, possibly at the Sainsbury's, possibly somewhere else in Murrayfield. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it can be. Nothing has pulled it through, and so the AdBlue sits only inside that tank. What to do: do not get back in and start the car to clear the petrol pump. A few things: a push into a space with the staff helping, the bottle saved, and a ring to us from where you stand. Can't move the car by the petrol pump? Our explosion-proof equipment keeps a busy forecourt sensible, and so it can be drained in place. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Murrayfield drive? The warning light had been on for days. Bought a bottle, tipped it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, after the fact. Right off Campbell Avenue is no different from any other place. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Being reluctant to blend, AdBlue drops low inside your tank and waits. One night parked alters none of that. What to do: leave the keys inside the house so no one moves your car in the morning. Then call. Our engineers drain it on your driveway, whether that is around Murrayfield or out in Ravelston. Our pumping kit runs quiet enough not to disturb the street at night. ## Murrayfield: drove off with AdBlue in a diesel? Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard started a mile or two after the top-up. Murrayfield Drive, perhaps, or the route to Edinburgh — a trip of under 3 miles. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled through your fuel system. The high-pressure pump and each injector see it too on a longer trip, after the fuel filter and pipework have it. More driving, more restarts: further it goes. What to do: pull over where it is safe then switch off. Exit by the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M8, under 3 miles from Murrayfield. It won't have cleared, and so there is no point starting it again to find out. Ring us and say how far you drove. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've just had this vehicle a week. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel fillers are side by side here — not like your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in City of Edinburgh. The point: just as above, split by whether it ran, only with an added stage. Work on your vehicle often needs the owner's approval under hire or company terms. Sorting it before we arrives is faster, so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. If you are stuck in the car park at Haymarket, or by Robert Louis Stevenson memorial, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off. ## Murrayfield: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank? "I think so" is often as honest answer there is. Lighter, the bottle; a hint of ammonia near the filler; a hazy recollection of the cap. Sound familiar? A hurried stop by the gates of the local primary school, or a visit to a friend in Blackhall: both fit. In short: spillage near the filler does your engine unharmed. If it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. Starting your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would pull it in. Your move: behave as if it got in, and never start your engine. Phone with what you saw: we would rather find a clean tank than empty one after your engine has run. ## Murrayfield: what each AdBlue drain has in common Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Wherever your vehicle stands — Murrayfield Bar & Kitchen's car park, a street beside Murrayfield Lawn Tennis Club, a driveway, a filling station — the van arrives and asks for the fluid, the amount, and if the engine has been run. Answers shape the work; the price follows on the call whilst nobody has left yet. AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to some metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't wash out unaided; that's why the flush, after this drain, matters far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Then comes your filter — flushed, or replaced when necessary — then clean diesel, and a test of the vehicle. If your engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Last, our technicians fire it up. With new diesel in, it runs while our engineers check it is running properly, and then we leave. Lasting damage is very uncommon if it's noticed quickly, and the whole job is done where your car is. Payment comes on the day, never upfront. For your insurer, you get a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Plenty of insurance policies cover misfuelling, and so look at yours while the van travels. ## About Murrayfield, for a moment Murrayfield is a suburban area in the City of Edinburgh, situated approximately 2.3 miles west of Edinburgh's city centre.
