# What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Pentre Broughton

All of that turns on one detail: if your motor has been run since the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else.

Anywhere the car is — Rhosrhedyn, Pentre Broughton — don't start an engine that hasn't run yet.

Phone 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor both off. Across Pentre Broughton, that is generally emptied and cleaned on the spot.

Already run? Pull over when safe, then turn it off.

Stage one remains unchanged, even though the job grows.

Anywhere in Wrexham it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.

## On a Pentre Broughton forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel

The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it while you are stood at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in your hand.

Be it Shell, Sainsbury's or somewhere else in Pentre Broughton, the case is identical.

The point: of every spot to find out, the forecourt is the best.

Still in your tank, and no fuel pulled through: that is where the AdBlue sits.

Next: avoid the temptation to fire it up only to move away from the pump.

Three things: a shove into a space with the staff assisting, the receipt saved, and a ring to us from where you stand.

Our equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, so a vehicle that can't be pushed away gets drained where it is at the pump.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Pentre Broughton

Several days had passed with the warning light on.

A bottle from the garage, emptied in on the driveway — and it's only at the recycling that the cap got your eye.

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

What it means: if you have not driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt.

Being unable to blend, AdBlue settles low inside that tank and waits. One night standing alters nothing.

Next: stop any early drive by keeping the keys in the house, then ring us.

We drain the vehicle on your drive, whether that's around Pentre Broughton or out in Cefn.

Late-night empties outside a house are fine: the pumps are quiet.

## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel around Pentre Broughton?

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.

Anywhere on Cae Pentre or heading towards Wrexham — under 3 miles away.

What it means: your fuel system has sucked the AdBlue in.

Distance decides how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the injection pump and each injector.

It goes further with every extra mile covered and every restart.

Next: pick a safe place, pull in, and turn the motor off.

Services further on can wait: on the M53, under 15 miles out of Pentre Broughton, use the first junction.

No trial starts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue will do.

Let us know the mileage driven as you ring.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

A week back, it was unknown to you.

Your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, and so no one warned you the AdBlue cap was just next to the diesel.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Wrexham.

The upshot: exactly as above, divided by if it ran, but with an added step.

Many hire and company agreements want the owner to approve work on the vehicle.

Next: ring the hire company or the fleet manager first, and then us — sorting it before our arrival is quicker.

Leave the car switched off while the answer comes, whether you are waiting outside Gwersyllt or close to Stori Brymbo: Fossil Forest.

## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Pentre Broughton?

Truthfully, the only answer might be that you think so.

The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia about the filler, and you can't remember which cap you took off.

Maybe on a friend's drive in Tanyfron, or rushing outside the local primary school on the school run.

What it means: a little spilled around your filler does no damage to your motor.

A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another story.

You cannot tell which by turning the key, and doing so will suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank.

Next: act as though it got in, then keep the motor off.

Checking a tank that proves clean is better than emptying one after it's been run — so phone then tell us what you noticed.

## The common ground in each Pentre Broughton AdBlue drain

No matter the situation, a single opening applies.

Our engineers come to the vehicle, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at Clayton Arms or a side street close to Stori Brymbo, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and whether your motor has run.

The price is given over the phone, ahead of anyone setting off, and those replies set the job.

Draining the tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more important after urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, no matter how long it sits.

Last come the fuel filter, flushed or replaced as needed; clean diesel; and a test of your vehicle.

Not started? Then about half an hour on site is most jobs.

The final step is firing it up.

Our engineers check it runs correctly on new diesel before leaving.

The whole job is done where the car is, and when it is caught quickly, lasting damage is very rare.

Nothing is paid upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you get what your insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours while we're on the way.
