Caught before your engine runs, it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Preeshenlle. If you are reading before it has happened, the rest of this page is about why it happens and how to make sure it doesn't. ## Two fillers, two tanks: AdBlue in a diesel vehicle No single liquid but two: that's how many newer diesels near Preeshenlle and St Martins Moor run, with diesel for the engine. AdBlue goes to the exhaust, where it is sprayed into the gas to fresh it, and it lives in a tank of its own. Each tank has its own filler. On a lot of cars the two sit side by side under the same flap; on others the AdBlue filler is in the boot or under the bonnet. Diesel goes in on every forecourt visit, again and again. The AdBlue side is fuelled far less commonly, usually from a bottle, and normally by a person who has to stop and think where it goes. The mistake grows in that gap between them. ## Preeshenlle: how AdBlue in your diesel tank happens Three things tend to line up, and carelessness is seldom one of them. First, the warning. Low AdBlue triggers a message from the vehicle, and letting it run dry means limp mode — hence a hurried top-up, perhaps before work off Penycae Close, perhaps at Cross Foxes on the way home that evening. Then, your hand goes for the cap it would have used on the old vehicle — because a rental car, a new vehicle or a company car puts the fillers somewhere your last one didn't. Lastly, the bottle fits: diesel filler or AdBlue one, it slides in as readily, and after the tip begins, no part stops it. Whether it happens in Rhewl or the middle of Preeshenlle, it's the same few seconds. ## Telling the AdBlue filler from your diesel filler Whether a Preeshenlle forecourt or a driveway out in Nefod, spend a couple of seconds over these before any is poured in. - The cap. The AdBlue cap is regularly blue, or marked "AdBlue". The diesel cap normally isn't. Read it instead of going by where it sits. - Many cars fit AdBlue the smaller neck of the two. - A label inside your fuel flap frequently shows which fuel goes where, on plenty of cars. Look for it. - Can't find it next to your diesel inlet? Then look below the bonnet or inside the boot — the handbook says which. - Check with the person who drove it last — before you leave, not when the light comes on — if you pick up a hire or company car from somewhere like the car park at Gobowen. ## Topping up AdBlue without it reaching the diesel tank A routine for the day the light comes on, wherever around Shropshire that is. - Not in a rush on the side of Penycae Avenue, not on a slope, not with the engine running: park and switch off first. - Say "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew the cap, after finding the AdBlue filler and read it. Silly, perhaps, but it works. - Leave the diesel cap on. If both sit under one flap, check your diesel cap is still closed before you lift the bottle. - Pour slowly, using the bottle's own spout. Stop when it's full or when the bottle is empty. - Close the cap, then look once more — making sure the diesel cap stayed shut throughout. Only then, start the vehicle. Stop there if you find, at stage two or three, that you've already poured into the diesel side. Step five is out. ## Put AdBlue in your diesel tank around Preeshenlle already? Don't start the motor: that's how the short order of things begins. The fuel pump runs on many diesels as soon as your ignition goes on — and so leave it off. AdBlue doesn't mix with diesel — it sinks to the bottom of the tank, where your fuel is drawn from — so don't top up with diesel to dilute it. If you're at a forecourt, whether it's the Shell or the BP, ask the staff to help roll the vehicle away from the pump. Your own driveway in Preeshenlle is where it should stay. If the engine has already run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. The next junction is the place to leave if you're on the M53, under 25 miles from Preeshenlle. About how far did it go? Hopping across Preeshenlle is less a job than a trip of under 15 miles towards Wrexham, so say. ## Our arrival in Preeshenlle, and what happens next By Gobowen Primary School, near All Saints or on your own drive: wherever the vehicle has stopped, our engineers come to it. Those replies determine this work and our price, so our technicians ask what got in, about how much, and whether it's run. You get that price on the phone, before anyone heads out. Then that tank is drained and your system purged thoroughly. With AdBlue that matters more than with petrol: it crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not wash out on its own. After your filter has been flushed — or renewed, where needed — clean diesel goes in, and finally your car is tested. The engine is fired up next and checked to be sure it runs properly, all before our technicians head off. If your engine has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there, using pumps that are fine on a working forecourt and quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours while we are on the way. ## About Preeshenlle and where it is Preeshenlle is a locality in Shropshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 121 metres, with detached housing being the predominant type of accommodation.
