--- title: Puckshole: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank, What Next canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/puckshole-gloucestershire/ location: Puckshole county: Gloucestershire latitude: 51.751840 longitude: -2.241680 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-23 --- # What Now? AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Puckshole One thing counts above all when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if the engine has been started afterwards. Not started so far? Then leave it like that, wherever your vehicle sits — Puckshole or Bread Street. Leave your motor and your ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Puckshole. Stop the moment you safely can and switch off, if it has been run. Step one remains the same, even though the job is bigger. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Gloucestershire it happened. ## Puckshole forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Imagine it: stood by the pump, holding the nozzle, you spot the cap you took off was not the correct one. Somewhere around Puckshole, then — Tesco, Esso, or anywhere else close by. What it means: this is the best spot to find out. Still in the tank, with no fuel pulled through: that's where the AdBlue sits. What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Have the attendants to lend a hand rolling it to a space, save the bottle, then ring us right there. Emptying it there at the pump is fine when it cannot be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof. ## At home around Puckshole with AdBlue in your diesel tank Days had gone by with the dash light on. Bought a container, poured it in outside the house, binned the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, after the fact. Houses just off Elm Road are hit as often as anywhere else. Put simply: if your vehicle hasn't moved since, it's nearly equal to finding out at the pump. As it is reluctant to mix, AdBlue settles to the base in that tank and waits. One night standing alters nothing. Your move: the keys indoors, so no one takes your car off first thing. Then, ring. Park End or Puckshole: whichever your driveway sits, that is where it is emptied. Night-time drains beside a house are no problem: the pumps are low-noise. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Puckshole? Filled up, pulled away, and before long the engine was running roughly, blowing smoke, down on power, or flashing up the dash. Anywhere along Mill Farm Drive or heading to Gloucester — under 10 miles away. Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue up. It has been through the fuel filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. It goes further with every extra mile covered and every restart. Pull in safely — that is the next step — then turn everything off. On the M5, under 5 miles from Puckshole, that means the next junction, not the services further on. Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone, and say what distance your vehicle went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You have just driven the vehicle a week. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, anywhere in Gloucestershire, could make it. Meaning? Whatever applies above counts here — run or not — plus one further stage. The owner frequently needs to approve any work, under plenty of rental and fleet contracts. Sorting it before the van turn up is quicker, and so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, then us. If you're stuck in the car park at Stroud, or by Anti-Slavery Memorial Arch, while you wait for an answer, leave your car off. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Puckshole? Honestly, the only answer may be that you think it did. Which cap was taken off, you can't recall; meanwhile the bottle feels lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by your filler. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Cashes Green Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Highfield. The upshot: the motor is not hurt by a little AdBlue splashed around the outside. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will suck in any AdBlue that is in the tank. Do this: behave as though it got in, and never start your engine. Tell us what you noticed on your phone. A clear tank looked at counts as a better result than an already-run one emptied. ## The common ground in each Puckshole AdBlue drain The work begins the same way, whichever your situation. Three questions are asked once we reach the car — on a filling station, a drive, a road beside Maypole Hall or the car park at The Old Crown: the liquid, the quantity, and whether it has been started. Those answers settle this work, and you get the quote by phone, before anybody heads out. A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it is essential, since crystals build up and certain metals are attacked, and none of it washes away unaided. Last come your filter, cleaned or replaced if necessary; clean diesel; and a check of your car. If your motor has not run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. The last step is firing it up. Our check that it runs smoothly on new diesel comes before our technicians head off. We do the entire job where the car is, and long-term damage is very rare when it has been caught quickly. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Dig out your insurance before we arrive: misfuelling cover comes built into many policies. ## About Puckshole, briefly Puckshole is a suburban area situated on the riverside in Gloucestershire, with a mix of semi-detached housing and other residential properties.
