--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Polsloe Priory: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/polsloe-priory-devon/ location: Polsloe Priory county: Devon latitude: 50.730630 longitude: -3.509660 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-14 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Polsloe Priory All of it hinges on a single detail: whether the engine has been run after the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. Out in Stoke Hill or here in Polsloe Priory, an unrun motor should remain unrun. Usually this is emptying and thoroughly cleaning it on the spot around Polsloe Priory — so leave your key and motor off then phone 0333 366 0103. Already started? Stop when safe, then switch everything off. A bigger job, then, yet the identical first move. Find the scenario below that matches yours, wherever around Devon it happened. ## Polsloe Priory forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Imagine it: standing by the pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the cap you opened was not the right one. Possibly you are at the Morrisons, possibly at the Esso, possibly somewhere else around Polsloe Priory. Put simply: no better spot to be to spot it. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. What to do: don't get back in and start the vehicle to clear the petrol pump. Get the staff to help rolling it to a bay, hold on to the receipt, then ring us from there. The equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, so a car that cannot be pushed clear is cleared where it is at the pump. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Polsloe Priory drive? Days had passed with the warning light on. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. It occurs on driveways just off Abbey Road as frequently as anywhere. Meaning? Provided your car has not been driven since, it is second to the pump case. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that. Next: prevent any early-morning drive by putting your keys indoors, then ring us. Polsloe or Polsloe Priory: wherever your driveway is, that's where it gets emptied. Late-night drains outside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet. ## On the road around Polsloe Priory with AdBlue in a diesel Topped up, pulled away, and before long the motor was running roughly, smoking, down on power, or lighting up the dash. Anywhere on Pinhoe Road or else heading to Exeter — under 3 miles away. Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue in. Through the fuel filter, through the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and each injector. Every restart, like every mile, pushes it deeper. Next: find a safe spot, stop, and turn the motor off. Leave by the next junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M5, under 3 miles from Polsloe Priory. Restarting it to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own. Phone, saying how far your vehicle was driven. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car You've had the car hardly a week. Your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, and so no one warned you the AdBlue inlet was right beside your diesel. Wherever you are in Devon, every driver could slip up. What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. The owner frequently needs to sign off any work, under plenty of rental and company agreements. Next: phone the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Keep the car off while the answer arrives, whether you're waiting at Polsloe Bridge or near St. Mark's Church. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Polsloe Priory? Truthfully, the best answer may be that you think it did. Lighter, that bottle; a hint of ammonia round your filler; no clear recollection of the cap. Look familiar? The gates of Ladysmith Junior School in a rush, perhaps, or someone's drive out in Newtown. Meaning? Spills around the inlet never touch the motor at all. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up your car would pull it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. Your move: act as though it did, and never start the engine. Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue is better than draining one after it's been run — so phone and tell us what you saw. ## What every AdBlue drain around Polsloe Priory has in common Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Forecourt, driveway, Henry's Bar's car park or a road beside Dissenters' chapel — the van reaches the car, and three answers follow: which fluid, what quantity, and whether it ran. Those answers settle the work, and you hear our quote on the phone, before anybody sets off. Emptying the tank comes next, followed by a careful flush — more important after urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go on their own, no matter how long it sits. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Not started? Then roughly half an hour once we are there covers most jobs. Finally, we start the car. Our engineers confirm it runs properly on fresh diesel before we leave. If it is caught early, the vehicle very rarely has lasting damage, and the entire job takes place where it is. Nothing is paid upfront, payment happens on the day, and you receive what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Worth knowing: lots of insurers offer misfuelling cover, so a check of your policy as we travel is worthwhile. ## About Polsloe Priory, briefly Polsloe Priory is a suburban area situated on the outskirts of Exeter in Devon, with Polsloe Priory being close to the River Exe.
