AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Rainford Junction One fact matters most when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if your motor has been started afterwards. Out in White Moss or here in Rainford Junction, an unstarted motor should remain unrun. Leave your engine and your ignition off and phone 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Rainford Junction. Already run? Pull over once safe, then turn everything off. It is a bigger job, though stage one does not change. Below: the situations our technicians meet, anywhere across Merseyside. Pick the one that fits. ## Rainford Junction forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump Only now, nozzle still in hand, it dawns on you that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the pump. Be it Shell, BP or anywhere else in Rainford Junction, the case is identical. Meaning? Finding out here is the best it gets. Only that tank has AdBlue; no part beyond it has taken any in. Do this: stay out of the car, even if the pump needs clearing. Get the staff to lend a hand rolling it into a bay, save the receipt, then phone us right there. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, so a vehicle that cannot be pushed clear gets cleared right at the pump. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home around Rainford Junction For days the dashboard had been nagging you. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look again at the cap. Just off Kendal Drive is not different from any other place. What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt. On the bottom of that tank is exactly where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the car in the morning. Then call. Our technicians drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is in Rainford Junction or out in Park Hill. Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a residential street. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Rainford Junction? 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. Somewhere along Windermere Drive or else on the road towards Liverpool — under 15 miles away. The upshot: your system has drawn AdBlue in by now. Through your filter, through the pipework, and — the more the distance — on into the injection pump and each injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Do this: stop anywhere safe, then turn the engine off. Leave at the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M58, under 3 miles from Rainford Junction. No test starts: clearing is not something AdBlue will do. Phone us and say how far you travelled. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? A week back, it was unknown to you. Your own car either does without AdBlue or keeps it somewhere different, so no one warned you the AdBlue inlet sits just next to your diesel. Wherever you are in Merseyside, every driver can be caught. In short: one extra stage on top of the cases above, and those turn on if it's run. The owner frequently has to approve the work, under many hire and fleet agreements. What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is faster settled before our engineers arrive than after. If you're stuck in the car park outside Rainford, or by Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, while you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off. ## Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, Rainford Junction? Now and then, "I think so" is all anyone can truthfully say. A slight ammonia-like smell hangs around the filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is hard to recall. The gates of Rainford Brook Lodge Community Primary School in a hurry, perhaps, or someone's drive over in West Pimbo. Put simply: spillage round the filler does your engine no harm. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Turning on the car won't tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it will pull it in. Do this: behave as if it got in, and never start the motor. Ring with the details: we'd sooner find a tank free of AdBlue than drain one once your engine has run. ## Each AdBlue drain around Rainford Junction shares these steps Whichever scenario you are in, this job starts the same way. Three things come once we reach your car — on a filling station, a drive, a street beside Rainford Parish Church Hall or the car park outside The Junction Pub: the fluid, the quantity, and if it has been started. Replies set the job; the price comes on the call while no one has set off yet. Then your tank is cleared and your system purged thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not rinse out on its own. The fuel filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Most unstarted cars are a half-hour visit after the moment our technicians turn up. Lastly, our engineers start it. With new diesel in, it runs while our technicians confirm it's running correctly, and then we leave. Our technicians do the entire job where your car is, and lasting damage is very unusual when it has been spotted soon. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, no money in advance. Many insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours while we're on the way. ## About Rainford Junction, briefly Rainford Junction is a small village in Merseyside, situated inland at an elevation of 62 metres, approximately 10.8 miles from Liverpool.
