New Arley: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue went in? That one point settles almost everything else from here. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is in New Arley itself or out in Tippers Hill. Keep nothing on, phone 0333 366 0103, then count on a thorough flush after a drain, carried out just where the vehicle sits in New Arley. When the motor has run, stop safely straight away, then switch it off. It is a bigger job, yet stage one doesn't change.
Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever in Warwickshire it happened.
AdBlue in a diesel on a New Arley forecourt
Only now, nozzle still in your hand, you realise that the cap you opened was the wrong one, right at the pump. Whether the nearest petrol station, Shell or somewhere else in New Arley, the situation is the same.
What it means: this is the ideal spot to find out. No pump has pulled it in, and so the AdBlue stays only inside that tank.
Do this: stay out of the car, however much the pump wants freeing. A few jobs: a shove into a bay with the attendants assisting, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from where you stand. Draining it there at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around New Arley
The warning light had been on for days. Bought a bottle, poured it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and only then checked the cap again, after the fact. It happens on drives just off Sycamore Crescent as often as anywhere.
What it means: if you have not driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that.
What to do: leave the keys inside the house so nobody moves your car in the morning. Then ring. Your drive is where it is drained, whether around New Arley or Hill Top. Late-night empties beside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise.
Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel around New Arley?
A mile or two after topping up, the motor started playing up: rough running, smoke, lost power, lights on the dash. It might have been heading to Coventry, under 10 miles away, or simply down Charles Street.
Meaning? The fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue in. It's been through the filter and the fuel lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and your injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further.
What to do: pull over where it's safe and switch off. New Arley lies under 3 miles from the M6; on it, come off at the next junction instead of pressing on for the services. Starting it again to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. Let us hear the mileage driven when you call.
AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles
It is a car you have had for a week. Your own car either does without AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, so no one warned you the AdBlue inlet was right beside the diesel. Anywhere you happen to be across Warwickshire, every driver can slip up.
The point: exactly as above, split by whether it ran, but with an added step. Any work on your car often needs the owner's go-ahead under rental or company agreements.
Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us next, since sorting it beforehand cuts time. Hanging on for a reply at the car park outside Bermuda Park, or near St Michael? Keep the engine off meanwhile.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, New Arley?
"I think so" is often the most honest as it gets. What cap came off, you cannot recall; but the bottle feels lighter than expected, and ammonia lingers by your filler. The gates of Arley Primary Academy in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's driveway out in Wood End.
Put simply: spillage round your filler does the engine unharmed. If it's inside your diesel tank, though, it does. Any AdBlue in the tank would be drawn in by firing up the vehicle, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
Assume it went in, and never turn your engine. Ring us and describe what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
What each AdBlue drain around New Arley has in common
The work opens the same way, whatever your case. Forecourt, driveway, Wagon Load of Lime's car park or a street beside Duke of Suffolk's Monument — the van comes to the vehicle, and three answers follow: what fluid, which quantity, and if it ran. Answers shape the job; the price follows by phone whilst nobody has left yet.
Draining your tank comes first, followed by a careful flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long it sits. Fresh diesel goes in once your filter is cleaned or replaced, and your car is finally checked. Where the engine has not been started, allow roughly half an hour once we arrive, for most cases.
Our technicians start it at the end. Our check that it runs correctly on fresh diesel comes before we leave. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and lasting damage is very unusual if it has been caught early. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money in advance. Worth knowing: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a check of your policy while we travel is worthwhile.
