# Pullens Green: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation

Has your motor run since the AdBlue went in? This one question settles almost everything else from here.

If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is around Pullens Green itself or out in Duckhole.

Phone 0333 366 0103 with the key and engine both off. In Pullens Green, that is generally drained and cleaned where it stands.

Pull over the minute it is safe and turn off, if it has already run.

It is a bigger job, though step one does not change.

Anywhere in Gloucestershire it took place, one of the cases below matches yours.

## Pullens Green forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump

Picture it: standing by the pump, holding the bottle, you realise the filler you took off was not the right one.

Somewhere around Pullens Green, then — Tesco, Thornbury Motors, or anywhere else nearby.

Put simply: there is no better spot exists to discover it.

Just that tank has AdBlue; no component beyond it has drawn it in.

Your move: stay out of the car, however much the queue wants clearing.

Have the attendants to lend a hand pushing it into a bay, save the bottle, then phone us from there.

Can't move it by the pump? Our explosion-proof equipment keeps a live forecourt sensible, so it can be drained in place.

## At home in Pullens Green with AdBlue in the diesel tank

For days the dashboard had been nagging you.

Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in your hand, did you look back at the cap you had opened at the drive.

It takes place on driveways just off The Naite as regularly as anywhere.

Meaning? Provided your car has not moved since, it's close to the forecourt case.

At the bottom of that tank sits exactly where AdBlue waits, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by makes nothing of the difference.

Next: stop an early-morning drive by keeping the keys in the house, then phone us.

Your drive is where it is emptied, whether in Pullens Green or Oldbury-on-Severn.

Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a residential street.

## Set off with AdBlue in a diesel around Pullens Green?

Filled up, pulled away, and before long the engine was running unevenly, smoking, down on power, or flashing up your dash.

Maybe driving for Bristol, under 15 miles away, or simply down Chapel Road.

The point: your system has pulled AdBlue through already.

The high-pressure pump and each injector get it too on a bigger run, after your filter and lines have had it.

Each restart, like each mile, pushes it deeper.

What to do: pull over where it's safe to do so then switch off.

Exit at the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M48, under 5 miles from Pullens Green.

Restarting it to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

Call us and say how far you travelled.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles

A week ago, the car was unknown to you.

On your own car, AdBlue is absent or elsewhere. On this one, the cap is just by your diesel cap — a surprise to you.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere across Gloucestershire.

Put simply: one extra stage on top of the cases above, which turn on if it has run.

Work on the vehicle often requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or fleet terms.

What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's faster settled before our technicians arrive than after.

If you are stranded in the car park at Chepstow, or by Oldbury Camp, whilst you wait for an answer, leave your car off.

## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Pullens Green?

"I think so" is sometimes as honest as it gets.

Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia near the filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Look familiar?

Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Oldbury on Severn Church of England Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Kington.

In short: spillage round your filler leaves your motor unharmed.

Once it is inside the diesel tank, though, that changes.

Firing up the car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would suck it in.

Take it that it went in, and don't start the key.

Inspecting a tank that turns out free of AdBlue beats draining one once it's been run — so phone then describe to us what you saw.

## What every AdBlue drain around Pullens Green has in common

Each case has the same start to the work.

Three things are asked once we reach the car — on a filling station, a driveway, a road by Oldbury-on-Severn Methodist Church or the car park outside Anchor Inn: the liquid, the amount, and whether it has run.

Those answers decide the work, and you hear our quote by phone, before anyone heads out.

AdBlue crystallises and eats at certain metals in fuel systems, so it won't rinse out unaided; that's why a full flush, after this drain, counts far more with AdBlue than with petrol.

Then comes your filter — cleaned, or replaced when necessary — followed by clean diesel, and a test of the vehicle.

Most unstarted vehicles are a half-hour job from the moment we get there.

The last step is starting the engine.

With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians make sure it is running correctly, and then we go.

When it is spotted early, the car very rarely has long-term damage, and the entire job takes place where it is.

Paying comes that day, never in advance. For the insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a report from the engineer.

Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we are on the way.
