What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in New Bolsover
Has your engine turned over since the AdBlue got in? This single point settles almost everything else from here. Not run so far? Then leave it that way, whether the car sits — New Bolsover or Hillstown. Keep nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush after a drain, carried out right where the car stands around New Bolsover. When the motor has been run, stop safely straight away, then turn the car off. It's a larger job, yet step one does not change.
Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around Derbyshire it happened.
AdBlue in a diesel on a New Bolsover forecourt
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. Anywhere in New Bolsover, then — Texaco, The Co-operative, or anywhere else close by.
In short: no better spot to be to discover it. Still inside your tank, and no fuel drawn onwards: that is where the AdBlue is.
What to do: don't get back in and start it to clear the petrol pump. Phone us from the forecourt once your vehicle sits in a bay — the attendants will help roll it — then save the bottle. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a vehicle that cannot be pushed away is cleared right at the pump.
AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around New Bolsover
Several days had gone by with the dash light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Homes just off New Bolsover get hit as often as everywhere else.
The upshot: no miles since leaves it nearly as good to spotting it at the petrol pump. Being reluctant to blend, AdBlue settles low in that tank and stays. One night parked alters none of that.
Keep the keys indoors overnight — otherwise a person might drive it away at breakfast — then phone us. In Carr Vale or right here in New Bolsover, the drain is done on your drive. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a residential street.
AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in New Bolsover?
Filled up, drove away, and before long your motor was running unevenly, smoking, losing power, or lighting up your dash. Perhaps it was on Villas Road, perhaps on the way out towards Sheffield, under 15 miles away.
Meaning? Your fuel pump has taken the AdBlue up. Mileage decides how deep it gets: filter and lines first, then the injection pump and each injector. Every restart, like every mile, carries it deeper.
Next: find a safe place, pull in, then turn the motor off. Exit at the first junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M1, under 3 miles from New Bolsover. Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone us and say how far you went.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
Seven days back, the car was unknown to you. The AdBlue filler sits right next to the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, anywhere across Derbyshire, could make it.
What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Plenty of hire and fleet contracts need the owner's approval before repairs.
What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before we turn up than after. Waiting for an answer in the car park at Langwith - Whaley Thorns, or near Breaking The Mould? Leave your engine off throughout.
Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, New Bolsover?
Now and then, "I think so" is all you can honestly say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia around your filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off. The gates of New Bolsover Primary and Nursery School in a rush, perhaps, or someone's driveway out in Bolsover Woodhouse.
What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no damage to the motor. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different matter. You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so would suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank.
Do this: act as if it did, and never start your motor. Describe what you saw on your phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a better result than a run one emptied.
New Bolsover: what each AdBlue drain has in common
No matter the case, a single opening applies. Three things come once our engineers arrive — on a forecourt, a drive, a road by Bainbridge Hall or the car park at The Pillar of Rock: the fluid, the quantity, and whether the motor has been started. Over the phone, before dispatch, you hear our price, and those replies shape the work too.
Then the tank is emptied and the system cleaned thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not rinse out on its own. Fresh diesel is put in once the filter has been flushed or changed, and the car is finally tested. Never started? In that case roughly half an hour on site is most jobs.
Our technicians fire it up last. Our check that it runs properly on fresh diesel comes before our technicians leave. The entire job is done where your car is, and if it is noticed quickly, lasting damage is very unusual. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Worth knowing: many insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your policy as we travel is worthwhile.
