In that case set this page down for now, keep your ignition and engine off, and phone 0333 366 0103. Usually, when the engine has not run, it is emptied and thoroughly flushed where your vehicle is in Ramsey Forty Foot. Reading before the event? In that case what follows explains how it comes about and what to prevent it ever happening. ## AdBlue in a diesel motor: two tanks, two fillers Many newer diesels on the roads about Ramsey Forty Foot and Bury carry two liquids, not one. Diesel goes to the engine. Your exhaust, not the engine, is where AdBlue goes: sprayed into the fumes to clean them, from its own tank. Each tank has its own filler. Some motors put the AdBlue filler in your boot or under the bonnet; a lot of others place the two together under one flap. The diesel side is filled at the pump all the time. Seldom topped up, AdBlue usually comes out of a bottle, tipped by a driver who has to stop and think what filler to use. It's in that gap that the slip happens. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank around Ramsey Forty Foot: how it happens It's seldom carelessness. Three things tend to line up. On a driveway off Saint Felix Road before work, or in the car park at The George Inn heading home: that's where the rushed top-up takes place. What is the reason for the rush? As AdBlue gets low the vehicle warns you, and if it is gone, limp mode follows. The old car's filler is where the hand goes — yet a rental car, a new motor or a company car puts the fillers somewhere else. That is the second factor: an unfamiliar car. A spout-topped bottle meets no resistance at a diesel filler no more than at an AdBlue one. So the pour, after started, keeps on. The same few seconds decide it, in the middle of Ramsey Forty Foot or out in Ramsey Hollow. ## Which filler is for AdBlue, and which for diesel? Be it a Ramsey Forty Foot forecourt or a driveway over in Benwick, take a few seconds on these before any goes in. - Where it sits can mislead; the cap doesn't. AdBlue ones are often blue or bear the word "AdBlue" — diesel ones normally do not. - Check the size: the smaller filler neck is, on plenty of cars, the AdBlue one. - Check inside your fuel flap: many cars carry a label there showing which fuel goes where. - The handbook shows where it is when the filler is not next to your diesel cap: the boot, or under the bonnet. - 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 outside Whittlesea. ## How to top up without AdBlue in the diesel tank For the day the warning comes on — wherever you are around Cambridgeshire — a simple routine to use. - Stop somewhere level, motor off, with time to spare — not hurried on the side of Windsor Drive. - Find the AdBlue filler and read the cap. Say "AdBlue" out loud as you unscrew it. It sounds daft and it works. - The two behind a single flap? So confirm the lid on the diesel side stays shut ahead of raising the bottle. - Gently is best, through the bottle's own spout, until it's full or the bottle is empty. - Shut the cap, and check again — making sure the diesel filler stayed closed throughout. After that, start the vehicle. If at step two or three you find you have already poured into your diesel side, stop there. Leave out stage five entirely. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank already, in Ramsey Forty Foot? Do not start your motor: that's where the short order of things starts. Leave the ignition off as well, since on many diesels switching it on alone runs the pump. Thinning it with more diesel won't work, because AdBlue settles to the bottom instead of blending — and that is where the fuel is pulled from. If you're at a forecourt, whether it is the Essar or the Tesco, ask the staff to help push your car away from the pump. On your own drive in Ramsey Forty Foot? Then the vehicle remains where it is. If your engine has already run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Leave the A1(M) — under 10 miles out of Ramsey Forty Foot — at the next exit. Roughly how far did it go? Hopping across Ramsey Forty Foot is smaller work than a trip of under 10 miles to Peterborough, and so tell us. ## When our technicians get there around Ramsey Forty Foot, what takes place? By Ramsey Junior School, close to Ramsey Forty Foot Village Hall or on your own drive: wherever your car has stopped, we come to it. Those answers determine the work and our quote, so we ask what got in, about how much, and whether it's run. No one sets off before you've heard the quote over the phone. Then your tank is cleared and the system purged thoroughly. More than with petrol, it counts with AdBlue: crystals form, certain metals corrode, and nothing washes out unaided, however long it sits. Testing comes at the end: before that, fresh diesel is added, and the fuel filter is cleaned or changed if necessary. Next our engineers fire it up and make sure it runs correctly before leaving. Using pumps fine on a working forecourt and quiet enough for use outside a house at night, most jobs where your motor hasn't run need roughly half an hour after we are there. No money in advance; you settle up on the day. At the end, the VAT invoice and a report from the engineer go to you for the insurer. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours while we're on the way. ## About Ramsey Forty Foot Ramsey Forty Foot is a small village in Cambridgeshire, situated on the riverside at a low elevation of around 7 metres.
