--- title: Newton St Loe: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank, What Next canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/newton-st-loe-somerset/ location: Newton St Loe county: Somerset latitude: 51.382100 longitude: -2.428600 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-16 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Newton St Loe, and What to Do Next All of that hinges on one fact: whether your motor has been run since the AdBlue went in — more than anything else. Not run yet? Then keep the vehicle like that, whether the car is — Newton St Loe or Twerton. Ring 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor still off. In Newton St Loe, such a case is generally drained and flushed where it stands. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. Stage one remains the same, even if the job is bigger. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around Somerset it happened. ## At the pump in Newton St Loe: AdBlue in a diesel Picture it: standing by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you realise the cap you opened was not the right one. Whether Gulf, Sainsbury's or anywhere else around Newton St Loe, the situation is the same. In short: no better spot exists to discover it. Still in the tank, with no fuel drawn onwards: that's where the AdBlue sits. What to do: do not get back in and crank it to clear the pump. Three things: a shove into a space with the staff helping, the receipt saved, and a ring to us from where you stand. Draining it there at the pump is fine when it can't be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Newton St Loe drive? The warning light had been on for days. Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, recycled the empty — and only then looked at the cap a second time, after the fact. It takes place on driveways just off Pennyquick as commonly as anywhere. What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. As it is unable to mix, AdBlue drops low in that tank and stays. One night standing changes none of that. Next: prevent any early drive by putting your keys indoors, then phone us. Out in Clays End or right here in Newton St Loe, the draining is done at your drive. Even at night, our pumps stay quiet enough for a residential street. ## On the road in Newton St Loe with AdBlue in a diesel Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard arrived a short way beyond the top-up. Possibly it was on Globe, possibly on the way out towards Bath, under 5 miles away. In short: the AdBlue has been sucked through your fuel system. Past your filter, along the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Stop somewhere safe — that's the next job — then switch it off. On the M4, under 10 miles from Newton St Loe, that means the next junction, not the services further on. It won't have cleared, so there is no point restarting to find out. Phone us and say how far you went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank It's a car you have had for a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is right next to your diesel cap — news to you. It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Somerset. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more step. The owner often needs to approve any work, under plenty of hire and fleet agreements. Settling it before the van turn up is quicker, and so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. Keep the car off while the answer comes, whether you are parked at Oldfield Park or near Holy Trinity. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Newton St Loe? Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think so. A faint ammonia-like whiff hangs near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and which cap came off is a blur. Maybe at a friend's drive in Kelston, or in a rush by St Michaels Junior Church School on the school run. In short: a spill near your filler leaves the engine unharmed. Inside your diesel tank, however, AdBlue harms it. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Take it that it got in, and don't start the engine. Ring us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run. ## What each AdBlue drain in Newton St Loe has in common The work opens the same way, whatever your case. Three questions are asked once our engineers arrive — on a forecourt, a drive, a street by Newton St. Loe Village Hall or the car park outside The Globe: the liquid, the quantity, and whether the motor has run. Over the phone, ahead of dispatch, you hear the price, and those replies decide the job too. Draining that tank comes first, followed by a careful flush — more important after urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion will not go on their own, however long it sits. The fuel filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Where the engine hasn't been started, expect about half an hour once we arrive, for most jobs. Finally, we start the engine. Before our engineers go, it is tested to confirm it runs correctly on clean diesel. The whole job is done where the vehicle is, and when it is spotted early, long-term damage is very uncommon. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of policies include misfuelling, and so look at yours as we head over. ## About Newton St Loe and where it is Newton St Loe is a village situated on the River Avon in Somerset, with a mix of rural and suburban characteristics.
