# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Newport: What Now?

Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue was put in? That single point decides nearly everything about what comes next.

Over in Grove Hill or here in Newport, an unrun motor should stay that way.

Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, then count on a proper flush after a drain, done just where your vehicle sits around Newport.

If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off.

A larger job, then, yet the same first move.

Compare your case to a situation from the list below, anywhere around North Yorkshire you happen to be.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Newport forecourt

Picture it: standing by the petrol pump, gripping the bottle, you realise the filler you took off wasn't the correct one.

It might be the EG On the Move, or the Sainsbury's, or a different forecourt in Newport.

Put simply: no better place exists to spot it.

The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in.

Next: resist the urge to start it just to free up the pump.

Ask the attendants to help you push your car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, then call us from the forecourt.

The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, and so a vehicle that cannot be pushed away gets cleared where it is at the petrol pump.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Newport drive?

The warning light had been on for days.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty bottle in hand, did you look back at the cap you'd opened on the driveway.

It occurs on driveways just off Newport Road as often as anywhere.

Meaning? As long as your vehicle hasn't been driven since, it's close to the pump case.

On the bottom of the tank sits where AdBlue stays, because it will not blend with diesel — and a night passing makes nothing of the difference.

Next: the keys in the house, and so nobody takes your car off at breakfast. After that, ring.

In Middlesbrough or right here in Newport, the draining happens at your drive.

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

## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Newport?

A short way beyond filling up, your engine began playing up: rough running, smoke, lost power, lights on your dash.

Letitia Road, say, or the way to Durham — a trip of under 25 miles.

The point: your system has drawn AdBlue in by now.

Mileage decides how deep it goes: filter and pipework to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and each injector.

It goes further with each mile covered and each restart.

Pull in somewhere safe — that's the next job — then turn everything off.

On the A1(M), under 15 miles from Newport, that means the next junction, not the services further on.

Do not restart the vehicle to see if it has cleared; it will not have.

About what distance did it gone? Tell us as you call.

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

You've had this car hardly a week.

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

Anywhere you are around North Yorkshire, any motorist can be caught.

The upshot: exactly as above, split by if it ran, only with an added stage.

Plenty of hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on the vehicle.

What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is faster settled before our technicians get there than after.

Stuck by Al-Mustafa Centre or outside Middlesbrough until someone answers, your vehicle stays switched off the whole time.

## Newport: unsure if it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?

"I think so" is often the most honest as it gets.

Which cap was taken off, you cannot recall; meanwhile the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by your filler.

Maybe on a friend's driveway in Whinney Banks, or rushing outside Archibald Primary School on the school run.

What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no damage to your engine.

A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different matter.

Turning on the car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it would draw it in.

What to do: treat it as if it was put in. Do not fire it up.

Call us and explain what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.

## Every AdBlue drain around Newport shares these steps

Each situation has the same opening to the job.

Wherever the vehicle is — Play Brew Co's car park, a road beside Goals, a driveway, a filling station — our van gets there and we ask for the liquid, the amount, plus whether your motor has turned over.

On the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear the quote, and those answers decide the job too.

Then the tank is cleared and the fuel system flushed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't rinse out on its own.

Next is your filter — cleaned, or replaced when necessary — then fresh diesel, and a test of your vehicle.

If your engine hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.

Starting it comes last.

With fresh diesel in, it runs while we confirm it's running properly, and then we leave.

When it is caught quickly, the vehicle very seldom has long-term damage, and the whole job takes place where it is.

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

Many policies include misfuelling, so look at yours as we head over.

## About Newport, for a moment

Newport is a suburban area in North Yorkshire, situated on the riverside with an elevation of around 8 metres. Newport lies near the cities of Middlesbrough and Durham, and is close to other nearby places such as Portrack and Linthorpe. Newport has a population of approximately 5150 people and is characterised by predominantly terraced housing.

## AdBlue drains across North Yorkshire, Newport included

Portrack and Linthorpe have the same teams as Newport, a residential suburb, along with further towns over TS postcodes.

The location comes quickest from a postcode beginning TS5 4.

No moving is needed, whether stopped in the centre of Newport or on a layby heading to Ayresome Gardens, and so keep it put.

Draining happens on the spot.

If you are somewhere hard to describe, close to Madrisa Zia-Ul-Quran or close to a border, ring and ask rather than guessing.

## The one-line version

Motor not started: phone, and leave it switched off.

Run already: stop, switch down, phone 0333 366 0103. Petrol in Diesel takes over the remainder, within Newport or anywhere across North Yorkshire.
