Everything turns on one detail: if your motor has started after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Wherever your vehicle stands — Hebburn, Pelaw Main — don't start a motor that has not been started yet. Switch nothing on, ring 0333 366 0103, then expect a thorough flush after a drain, done just where your car stands around Pelaw Main. When your engine has been run, pull in safely straight away, then turn it off. It's a larger job, though stage one doesn't change. Below: the situations our engineers meet, anywhere in Tyne and Wear. Pick the one that fits. ## At the petrol pump in Pelaw Main: AdBlue in a diesel The cap you opened was the wrong one — and you only notice it as you're standing at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand. Be it JET, Jet or somewhere else in Pelaw Main, the situation is the same. What it means: this is the best location to find out. Nothing has pulled it through, so the AdBlue sits just inside that tank. Next: resist the urge to fire it up just to move away from the pump. Phone us from the forecourt after your vehicle is in a bay — the attendants will lend a hand to push it — then keep the receipt. Emptying it there at the pump is fine when it cannot be moved, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Pelaw Main The warning light had been on for days. A bottle bought at the garage, emptied in on the drive — and it's just by the recycling that the cap caught your eye. Right off Rendle Road is no different from anywhere. The point: zero driving since leaves it nearly as good to finding it at the petrol pump. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of that tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the car in the morning. Then ring. Bill Quay or Pelaw Main: whichever your driveway sits, that's where it is drained. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Pelaw Main? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Nelson Road, say, or the way towards Newcastle upon Tyne — a run of under 5 miles. In short: the AdBlue has been pulled into the fuel system. Mileage decides how far it gets: filter and pipework first, then the injection pump and each injector. More driving, more starts: deeper it goes. Next: pick a safe place, pull in, and switch the motor off. On the A194(M), under 3 miles from Pelaw Main, that means the next exit, not the services further on. No trial starts: clearing isn't something AdBlue does. Ring us and say how far you travelled. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? You have just driven the car a week. The AdBlue filler sits right beside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, wherever across Tyne and Wear, could make the same. In short: an extra stage on top of the situations above, which depend on whether it's run. Work on the vehicle often needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet terms. Settling it before we arrives is faster, so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Stranded by Hartleyburn Community Centre or outside Heworth until the firm replies, the vehicle stays switched off the whole time. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Pelaw Main Now and then, "I think so" is all you can honestly say. Lighter, the bottle; a trace of ammonia round your filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Sound familiar? A hurried top-up by the gates of West Walker Primary School, or a call to a friend in Low Walker: both fits. The upshot: your motor is not harmed by a little AdBlue spilled on the outside. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in the tank, starting the car will draw it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. Next: act as though it went in, and keep your motor off. Ring with what you saw: we would rather find a tank free of AdBlue than drain one after your engine has run. ## What each AdBlue drain around Pelaw Main has in common Each situation has the same start to the work. Three things come when our engineers reach the car — on a forecourt, a driveway, a street beside Hebburn Independent Methodist Church or the car park at The Cricketers: the liquid, the amount, and whether the motor has been started. On the phone, before dispatch, you hear our quote, and those replies decide the job too. A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it's essential, since deposits form and certain metals corrode, and neither washes away unaided. Clean diesel is put in once the fuel filter is flushed or replaced, and your car is finally checked. If your motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Our engineers start it at the end. Before our engineers head off, it is tested to make sure it runs correctly on fresh diesel. Our technicians do the entire job where the vehicle is, and permanent damage is very uncommon when it has been caught early. Paying comes that day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. It is worth knowing: many insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your policy as you wait is worthwhile. ## About Pelaw Main Pelaw Main is a suburban area located on the riverside in Tyne and Wear, with an elevation of around 9 metres above sea level.
