A drain plus a thorough flush, carried out just where your car sits around Ossett Street Side, is normally what it takes when caught before your motor runs. The remainder of this page explains why it happens and how to make sure it does not — useful if you are reading ahead of time. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel motor Plenty of modern diesels on the roads round Ossett Street Side and Town End carry two liquids, not one. Diesel goes to the engine. AdBlue goes to the exhaust, where it is sprayed into the gas to clean it, and it lives in a tank of its own. Each tank has its own filler. Under one flap, next to each other: that's the layout on a lot of motors. Elsewhere, AdBlue's filler is beneath the bonnet or in the boot instead. The diesel side is filled at the pump all the time. Someone who has to stop and think where it goes normally tops up the AdBlue side, from a bottle, and much less often. It's in that gap that the slip happens. ## How does AdBlue in the diesel tank take place in Ossett Street Side? Three things tend to line up, and carelessness is seldom one of them. On a drive off Hillcrest Avenue before work, or in the car park at The Boot and Shoe heading home: that is where the rushed top-up takes place. Why the rush? As AdBlue runs low the car tells you, and if it's empty, limp mode kicks in. Next, the hand reaches for the cap it would have used on the old vehicle — since a hire car, a new motor or a company car places the fillers where your last one didn't. A spout-topped bottle finds no obstacle at a diesel filler any more than at an AdBlue one. And so the tip, after begun, keeps on. The same few seconds settle it, in the middle of Ossett Street Side or out in Gawthorpe. ## The AdBlue filler and the diesel filler: telling them apart Check these first, at a forecourt around Ossett Street Side or a drive out in Shaw Cross. Seconds, no more. - The cap. The AdBlue cap is frequently blue, or marked "AdBlue". The diesel cap normally isn't. Read it rather than going by where it sits. - On many vehicles, size gives it away: AdBlue has the smaller filler neck. - Look inside the fuel flap: plenty of cars carry a label there saying which fuel goes where. - The handbook. If the filler is not by the diesel cap, it is in your boot or under the bonnet, and the handbook says which. - The person who drove it last. On a hire or company car collected from somewhere like the car park outside Batley, ask before you leave, not when the light comes on. ## How to top up without AdBlue in the diesel tank For the day the warning comes on — wherever it is around West Yorkshire — a routine to follow. - Park and switch off. Not on a slope, not with the engine running, and not in a rush on the side of Bridle Avenue. - Say "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew the cap, once you find the AdBlue filler and read it. Silly, perhaps, but it does the trick. - Leave your diesel cap on. If both sit under one flap, check the diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle. - Using the bottle's own spout, pour slowly — and stop when it is full or the bottle is empty. - Before starting the vehicle, close the cap and look a second time that the diesel cap was never came off. Spot at stage two or three that it's already gone into your diesel side? So stop just there. Stage five stays off limits. ## Ossett Street Side: already put AdBlue in your diesel tank? Then the order of things is short. Do not start your engine. On many diesels your ignition alone runs the fuel pump, so don't switch it on. Diluting it with more diesel won't work, since AdBlue settles to the bottom instead of blending — and that's where your fuel is pulled from. If you're on a forecourt, whether it's the Esso or the Murco, ask the attendants to help roll your car clear of the petrol pump. If you're on your own driveway around Ossett Street Side, leave it where it sits. When the engine has been run already, pull over safely then turn the vehicle off. The next exit is where to come off when you're on the M1, under 3 miles from Ossett Street Side. About how far did it go? Crossing Ossett Street Side is less a job than a trip of under 5 miles to Wakefield, and so say. ## Ossett Street Side: what happens when our engineers arrive Wherever your car came to rest, be it by Gawthorpe Community Academy, near Gawthorpe Maypole or on your own drive, the van travels to it. Both the work and the price depend on three answers — what liquid, which amount, and if it's run — so our technicians ask. The quote comes over the phone, before any van leaves. Draining the tank comes next, then a thorough flush of the system. AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it doesn't wash out on its own — which is why the flush counts more with AdBlue than with petrol. The fuel filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. We don't go until it has been fired up and is running correctly. If your motor has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there, using pumps that are fine on a busy forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. The insurer will ask for an engineer's report and the VAT invoice, and both are yours at the end. Payment is on the day, with no deposit. While we travel, take a look at your policy; many carry cover for misfuelling. ## About Ossett Street Side, briefly Ossett Street Side is a suburban area in West Yorkshire, situated approximately 3.7 miles from Wakefield and 162.9 miles from London.
