--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Parc Erissey: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/parc-erissey-cornwall/ location: Parc Erissey county: Cornwall latitude: 50.255410 longitude: -5.234990 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-24 --- # Parc Erissey: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation Has the engine turned over since the AdBlue got in? That one point decides almost everything else from here. Anywhere the vehicle is — Treleigh, Parc Erissey — never run an engine that has not run yet. Leave the engine and your ignition off then call 0333 366 0103; it is generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Parc Erissey. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. A larger job, then, but the same opening move. Wherever around Cornwall it happened, one of the situations below fits yours. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Parc Erissey forecourt The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you are stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Anywhere around Parc Erissey, then — Tesco, Texaco, or somewhere else nearby. Put simply: there is no better place exists to discover it. No pump has pulled it through, so the AdBlue sits only in your tank. What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the petrol pump. A few jobs: a push into a space with the staff helping, the bottle saved, and a ring to us from the forecourt. Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed clear gets cleared where it is at the petrol pump. ## Parc Erissey, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank Several days had gone by with the dash light on. A bottle bought at the garage, tipped in at the driveway — and it was just at the recycling that the cap caught your eye. Right off New Portreath Road is not different from anywhere. The point: zero miles since makes this nearly equal to spotting it at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of the tank and remains there, no matter how long it waits. Your move: keys indoors, and so nobody takes your vehicle off first thing. Then, phone. Out in North Country or here in Parc Erissey, the drain is done on your driveway. Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a residential street. ## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Parc Erissey? Filled up, pulled away, and soon your engine was turning unevenly, smoking, losing power, or lighting up your dash. It might have been driving to Truro, under 10 miles away, or just along Gwel Trenoweth. What it means: the system has drawn the AdBlue in. Through the fuel filter, through the pipework, and — the further the mileage — on into the injection pump and each injector. More driving, more starts: further it goes. Next: pick a sensible place, stop, and switch your motor off. Parc Erissey lies over 50 miles from the M5; on it, pull off at the next junction rather than pressing on to the services. It will not have cleared, so there's no sense starting it again to find out. Phone, saying how far your vehicle was driven. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars You have had the vehicle hardly a week. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Cornwall. Meaning? Whichever applies above counts too — run or not — and one extra stage. Many hire and company agreements need the owner's approval before work. What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before we get there than after. Leave it off while the answer arrives, whether you are waiting at Redruth or close to North Country United Methodist Church. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Parc Erissey? Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can honestly say. What cap was taken off, you can't say; but the bottle feels less than expected, and ammonia hangs by the filler. The gates of Treleigh Community Primary School in a rush, say, or a friend's driveway out in Cambrose. Meaning? Drips around the inlet don't reach your motor at all. Once it's inside the diesel tank, though, it does. If there is AdBlue in the tank, firing up your car would draw it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. What to do: treat it as if it was put in. Do not fire it up. Describe what you noticed on your phone. A clear tank checked counts as a happier result than an already-run one drained. ## Parc Erissey: what every AdBlue drain has in common No matter the situation, one opening applies. Forecourt, driveway, Treleigh Arms's car park or a road beside Redruth Old Cornwall Society Museum — our van reaches the car, and three answers follow: which fluid, which amount, and if it has run. On the phone, before anything else, you are told our price, and those replies shape the work too. AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to certain metals used in fuel systems, and so it won't rinse out unaided; that is why a full flush, after this drain, counts far more with AdBlue than with petrol. Then comes your filter — cleaned, or swapped where necessary — followed by fresh diesel, and a test of your vehicle. If the engine hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there. Our technicians start the car last. With clean diesel in, it runs while we confirm it is running correctly, and then we go. If it's spotted quickly, the vehicle very seldom has lasting damage, and the entire job happens where it is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours whilst we are on the way. ## About Parc Erissey itself Parc Erissey is a coastal locality in Cornwall, situated near the city of Truro and overlooking the surrounding countryside from an elevation of around 60 metres.
