All of it turns on one fact: if your engine has been run after the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. Out in Frog Island or right around New Parks, an unrun motor must remain unrun. Keep nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush plus a drain, carried out just where the vehicle stands in New Parks. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. Stage one stays unchanged, even though the work grows. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever across Leicestershire it happened. ## New Parks forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you only spot it as you're standing at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Whether BP, Esso or anywhere else in New Parks, the situation is the same. Put simply: no better place to be to discover it. Only the tank holds AdBlue; not one part beyond it has taken it in. What to do: don't get back in and start it to clear the pump. Get the attendants to lend a hand rolling it into a space, hold on to the receipt, then phone us from there. Draining it right at the petrol pump is possible when it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## At home in New Parks with AdBlue in the diesel tank For days the dash had been warning you. Only by the recycling, the empty container in your hand, did you look back at the cap you had used at the drive. It occurs on drives just off Dillon Road as regularly as anywhere. Meaning? Provided the vehicle has not been driven since, it is close to the forecourt case. At the bottom of that tank is exactly where AdBlue stays, since it will not mix with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference. Next: prevent any early-morning drive by putting your keys in the house, then ring us. Western Park or New Parks: whichever your driveway sits, that's where it is drained. Our equipment works quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night. ## On the road around New Parks with AdBlue in a diesel Filled up, drove away, and soon your motor was running roughly, blowing smoke, losing power, or lighting up the dash. Maybe heading to Leicester, under 3 miles away, or just along Caledine Road. What it means: your fuel system has sucked the AdBlue in. Distance decides how far it gets: filter and pipework first, then the injection pump and every injector. It travels further with every extra mile covered and every restart. Next: pick a sensible place, pull in, then turn the engine off. New Parks sits under 3 miles from the M1; there, come off at the next junction instead of pressing on for the services. Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear itself. Roughly how far did it go? Tell us when you call. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You have just driven this vehicle a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or somewhere else. On this one, its cap is right by the diesel cap — a surprise to you. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Leicestershire. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Many rental and fleet contracts require the owner's approval for work. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before we turn up than after. If you're stuck in the car park outside Leicester, or by The Salvation Army - Leicester West, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the car off. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in New Parks At times, "I think so" is all anyone can honestly say. A faint ammonia whiff lingers near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and which cap came off is a blur. The gates of Parks Primary School in a rush, say, or a friend's driveway out in Braunstone Frith. What it means: a little spilled around the filler does no damage to your motor. A diesel tank with AdBlue inside is another story. Any AdBlue in your tank would be drawn in by starting the car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. Take it that it went in, and never start your key. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run. ## The common ground in every New Parks AdBlue drain Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way. Anywhere your car stands — The Good Neighbours's car park, a street by St Aidan, a drive, a filling station — our van gets there and we ask for the fluid, the quantity, and if the motor has turned over. The price is given on the call, before a van leaves, and the replies set the work. Then your tank is drained and your system rinsed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Then is your filter — cleaned, or replaced where needed — then fresh diesel, and a test of your car. Where your engine has not run, allow roughly half an hour on site, for most cases. The last step is starting the engine. Our test that it runs correctly on new diesel comes before we leave. We do the entire job where the vehicle is, and long-term damage is very uncommon when it has been caught soon. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many policies include misfuelling, so look at yours as we head over. ## About New Parks itself New Parks is a suburban area located on the western edge of Leicester, with New Parks sitting near several parks and open spaces, including Western Park and New Found Pool.
