# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in New Bilton, and What to Do Next

Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue was put in? This single question decides almost everything about what comes next.

If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the car is in New Bilton itself or out in Bilton.

Switch nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, carried out right where your car stands around New Bilton.

Already run? Pull over once you safely can, then switch everything off.

Step one stays unchanged, even if the job is bigger.

Further down: the cases we see, wherever across Warwickshire. Pick yours.

## On a New Bilton forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

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 BP, or the Texaco, or another station around New Bilton.

What it means: this is the ideal spot to find out.

Still inside your tank, and no fuel drawn through: that is where the AdBlue is.

Next: resist the urge to fire it up only to move away from the petrol pump.

Three jobs: a shove into a space with the attendants helping, the receipt kept, and a call to us from where you stand.

The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, and so a vehicle that cannot be pushed away gets drained right at the pump.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a New Bilton drive?

On the dash, a warning had been lit all week.

Only by the recycling, the empty bottle in hand, did you look back at the cap you had used on the driveway.

Driveways close to Jubilee Street see it as much as any other street.

Put simply: if your car hasn't moved since, it's almost equal to finding out at the forecourt.

AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that.

Next: stop an early-morning move by putting your keys in the house, then phone us.

Rugby or New Bilton: wherever your drive sits, that is where it gets drained.

Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway.

## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around New Bilton?

Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a glowing dashboard arrived a mile or two beyond the top-up.

Maybe driving to Coventry, under 10 miles away, or just along Newland Street.

Meaning? Your fuel pump has taken the AdBlue up.

Through the filter, through the lines, and — the further the distance — on into the injection pump and every injector.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Do this: stop anywhere sensible, then turn your engine off.

New Bilton sits under 3 miles from the M6; on it, pull off at the next junction rather than pushing on for the services.

No trial starts: clearing is not something AdBlue does.

Let us know the distance covered when you ring.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

It's a vehicle you have had for a week.

The AdBlue filler is right next to the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Warwickshire.

In short: an extra step on top of the cases above, and those depend on whether it's run.

Plenty of rental and fleet agreements require the owner's sign-off before work.

Next: ring the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before our arrival is faster.

If you're stuck in the car park at Rugby, or by St Matthew & St Oswald, whilst you wait for an answer, leave your car off.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in New Bilton

"I think so" is sometimes as honest as it gets.

Which cap came off, you cannot say; meanwhile the bottle weighs lighter than expected, and ammonia hangs by the filler.

Maybe on a friend's driveway in Long Lawford, or rushing by St Oswald's CofE Academy on the school run.

Meaning? Spills around the filler never reach your motor at all.

Once it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes.

If there is AdBlue in the tank, firing up the car would pull it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

What to do: treat it as if it went in. Do not crank it.

Ring and give what you saw: we would sooner find a clean tank than empty one after the motor has run.

## What each AdBlue drain around New Bilton has in common

The job opens identically, whichever your situation.

Anywhere your car is — Royal Oak's car park, a street by Rugby Lawn tennis Club, a driveway, a filling station — the van gets there and asks for the liquid, the amount, plus if your engine has turned over.

Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear our quote, and those answers decide the work too.

Draining your tank comes next, followed by a full flush — more vital with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long you wait.

Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested.

Most unrun cars are a half-hour job after the moment our technicians get there.

Finally, our technicians fire it up.

Our technicians check it runs smoothly on new diesel before we leave.

The whole job is done where the vehicle is, and when it's caught early, lasting damage is very uncommon.

For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, nothing upfront.

Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way.
