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

One thing matters above all when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether your motor has been started since.

Not run so far? Then leave the car that way, wherever the vehicle sits — Norr or Shay Gate.

Leave your motor and the ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Norr.

Stop the moment it is safe and switch off, if it has already run.

Stage one remains the same, even if the job is bigger.

Further down: the cases our technicians see, wherever across West Yorkshire. Pick the one that fits.

## On a Norr forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

You're at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one.

It might be the Texaco, or perhaps the Shell, or a different forecourt in Norr.

Meaning? Finding out here is the best it can be.

Only that tank has AdBlue; not one part past it has taken it in.

What to do: do not get back in and fire it up to clear the pump.

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

Draining it there at the petrol pump is fine when it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof.

## At home around Norr with AdBlue in your diesel tank

On the dash, a warning had shown for days.

A bottle bought at the garage, emptied in on the driveway — and it's just at the recycling that the cap caught your eye.

Just off Shay Lane is no different from any other place.

The upshot: zero driving since makes it nearly as good to finding it at the pump.

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

Keep the keys indoors overnight — or someone may drive it away at breakfast — then phone us.

Out in Wilsden or right here around Norr, the draining happens on your drive.

The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.

## On the road in Norr with AdBlue in a diesel

Filled up, pulled away, and before long your motor was turning unevenly, blowing smoke, down on power, or flashing up your dash.

It might have been driving for Bradford, under 5 miles away, or just down Coplowe Lane.

What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in.

The injection pump and every injector get it as well on a bigger trip, once your filter and lines have it.

More miles, more starts: further it travels.

Next: find a safe place, pull in, and turn your engine off.

On the M606, under 10 miles from Norr, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

No test starts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue does.

Call, and say how far the car went.

## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?

Seven days ago, the car was unknown to you.

On your own car, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is just by the diesel inlet — news to you.

Anywhere you are in West Yorkshire, every motorist can slip up.

The upshot: just as above, split by whether it ran, but with one added step.

The owner frequently has to sign off the work, under plenty of rental and company agreements.

Settling it before the van arrives is faster, and so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, then us.

If you're stuck in the car park outside Bingley, or by Wilsden Cenotaph, while you wait for an answer, leave the car off.

## Norr: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?

Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so".

Which cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle feels lighter than it ought to, and ammonia hangs by the filler.

It might have been on a friend's driveway in Wilsden Hill, or in a rush outside Wilsden Primary School on the school run.

Put simply: spillage near your filler does your motor unharmed.

Inside your diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it.

If there is AdBlue in that tank, starting the vehicle will pull it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either.

Assume it got in, and don't turn the engine.

Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a happier result than a run one emptied.

## The common ground in every Norr AdBlue drain

No matter the case, a single opening is used.

Three questions come when our engineers arrive — on a forecourt, a driveway, a road beside St Matthew or the car park outside The New Inn: the fluid, the amount, and whether the motor has run.

On the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told the price, and those replies shape the job too.

A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it's crucial, because crystals build up and certain metals are attacked, and none of that rinses away unaided.

Then comes your filter — cleaned, or swapped where needed — then fresh diesel, and a test of your vehicle.

Where the motor hasn't run, expect about half an hour on site, in most cases.

The final step is starting the engine.

Before our engineers head off, it's tested to make sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel.

Lasting damage is very rare if it's spotted quickly, and the whole job is done where the car is.

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

It is worth knowing: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy while you wait is worthwhile.
