One thing matters above all once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether the engine has been started afterwards. Out in Sibton Green or here around Peasenhall, an unrun motor should stay that way. Leave the motor and the ignition off and call 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Peasenhall. Stop the minute it is safe and turn off, if it has already run. It's a larger job, yet step one does not change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever in Suffolk it happened. ## Peasenhall forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump You're at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Maybe you're at the JET, perhaps at the Samkins, maybe somewhere else around Peasenhall. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is as good as it can be. Just your tank holds AdBlue; not one part past it has drawn it in. What to do: don't get back in and crank it to clear the pump. A few things: a shove into a bay with the staff assisting, the bottle kept, and a ring to us from the forecourt. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed clear gets cleared right at the pump. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Peasenhall Several days had passed with the warning light on. Picked up a container, tipped it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and at that point checked the cap again, too late. It happens on driveways just off Smythe Close as often as anywhere. The point: no driving since leaves it almost as good to finding it at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of the tank and stays put, however long it waits. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so nobody moves the car in the morning. Then ring. Sibton or Peasenhall: wherever your driveway sits, that is where it is cleared. Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a driveway. ## On the road around Peasenhall with AdBlue in a diesel Filled up, drove away, and soon the engine was turning roughly, smoking, losing power, or lighting up your dash. Rendham Hill, say, or the way to Norwich — a run of under 50 miles. The point: the system has drawn AdBlue through by now. Past your filter, through the pipework, and — the further the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and each injector. More miles, more starts: deeper it goes. Stop safely — that's the first job — then switch it off. Service stations farther along can wait: on the M11, over 50 miles out of Peasenhall, use the next junction. Restarting it to check gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself. Phone, and say what distance your car was driven. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car You have only driven this vehicle a week. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel one, which you did not know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout Suffolk, no one is safe from it. What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more step. 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's quicker settled before our engineers arrive than after. Stuck near St Michael or outside Darsham till the firm replies, your car remains turned off the whole time. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Peasenhall? "I think so" is sometimes the most honest answer there is. Which cap came off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle feels less than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia lingers by your filler. The gates of Yoxford & Peasenhall Primary Academy in a rush, perhaps, or someone's driveway out in Yoxford. Put simply: a spill near your filler leaves the engine no harm. If it is inside your diesel tank, though, it does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up your car will pull it in, and it would not tell you which either. Next: assume it got in, then leave the motor off. Ring 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 Peasenhall shares these steps No matter the situation, one start applies. Wherever your vehicle stands — The Sibton White Horse's car park, a road beside Peasenhall Village Hall, a driveway, a forecourt — our van gets there and asks about the fluid, the quantity, plus if the motor has been run. Over the phone, before dispatch, you are told the quote, and those answers decide the job too. Draining your tank comes next, then a careful flush — more important after urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion will not go by themselves, however long you wait. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Not started? In that case about half an hour once we are there is most jobs. The last step is firing it up. Before our technicians leave, it is tested to confirm it runs correctly on fresh diesel. Our technicians do the whole job where the vehicle is, and long-term damage is very uncommon if it has been spotted quickly. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money in advance. It is worth remembering: many insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a quick look at your documents as you wait pays. ## About Peasenhall, briefly Peasenhall is a small village in Suffolk, situated near the River Yox in the eastern part of the county.
