# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Revoe, and What to Do Next

What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank depends on one thing more than any other: if the motor has run since it went in.

Anywhere your vehicle stands — South Shore, Revoe — don't start an engine that has not been started yet.

Normally this is emptying and thoroughly cleaning it right there around Revoe — so keep the key and engine off then phone 0333 366 0103.

If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off.

Step one stays unchanged, even though the job grows.

Anywhere across Lancashire it took place, one of the cases below fits yours.

## At the petrol pump in Revoe: AdBlue in a diesel

You are at the petrol pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one.

It might be the Esso, or the Tesco, or a different forecourt around Revoe.

Put simply: there is no better place to be to spot it.

The AdBlue is in the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has pulled it in.

Next: avoid the urge to fire it up just to free up the pump.

Get the attendants to help pushing it to a space, save the bottle, then phone us from there.

Emptying it right at the pump is possible when it can't be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

## At home in Revoe with AdBlue in the diesel tank

For days the dashboard had been nagging you.

Picked up a container, tipped it in at home, binned the empty — and at that point looked at the cap again, too late.

It occurs on drives just off Grasmere Road as regularly as anywhere.

What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is almost as good as the forecourt.

Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of your tank and remains put, however long it waits.

Keep the keys in the house overnight — or a person may drive it off at breakfast — then phone us.

Our engineers drain the car on your driveway, whether that's around Revoe or out in Great Marton.

Night-time drains beside a house are no problem: the pumps are quiet.

## On the road in Revoe with AdBlue in a diesel

You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard.

Anywhere along Levens Grove or else heading towards Preston — under 15 miles away.

Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue up.

The high-pressure pump and each injector get it as well on a bigger run, once your filter and pipework have it.

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Stop safely — that's the first step — then turn everything off.

Revoe sits under 3 miles from the M55; there, come off at the next junction instead of pressing on for the services.

Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have.

Phone, and say what distance your car went.

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

Seven days back, it was new to you.

The AdBlue filler is right alongside the diesel filler, which you did not know, because your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else.

It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Lancashire.

Meaning? Whichever case above applies here — run or not — and one further stage.

Any work on the car frequently requires the owner's go-ahead under hire or company agreements.

Your move: hire firm or fleet manager first, us next, since settling it early saves time.

Keep the car switched off as the answer comes, whether you're waiting at Blackpool South or close to Revoe Library.

## Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Revoe?

Now and then, "I think so" is the most you can truthfully say.

A slight ammonia-like whiff hangs near the filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall.

The gates of Revoe Learning Academy in a rush, perhaps, or someone's driveway out in Queenstown.

Meaning? Spills around the inlet never touch the engine at all.

A diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different matter.

Starting your car cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it would draw it in.

Next: act as though it went in, and keep your motor off.

Ring us and explain what you saw; we'd rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.

## Every AdBlue drain around Revoe shares these steps

The job begins the same way, whatever your case.

Wherever your car stands — Bloomfield Brewhouse's car park, a street beside Independent Methodist Church, a drive, a filling station — our van arrives and we ask for the liquid, the amount, plus if your motor has been run.

Those answers decide this work, and you get our price on the phone, before anyone heads out.

Emptying that tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more vital after urea than after petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't clear on their own, no matter how long you wait.

Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the car is tested.

Most unstarted cars are a half-hour job from the moment our engineers get there.

Our technicians start it last.

We confirm it runs smoothly on fresh diesel before we go.

We do the whole job where the vehicle is, and lasting damage is very unusual when it has been noticed soon.

For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money upfront.

Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, so check yours as we head over.

## About Revoe itself

Revoe is a coastal suburban area in Lancashire, situated near the towns of Great Marton and Blackpool. Revoe lies at a low elevation of around 11 metres, close to the Irish Sea coast. Revoe is characterized by its predominantly terraced housing stock, reflecting its historical development as a residential area.

## AdBlue drains across Lancashire, Revoe included

Blackpool and Hawes Side get the identical teams as Revoe, a residential suburb, along with other places throughout FY postcodes.

Fastest of all: a FY1 5 postcode for where you stand.

Centre of Revoe or a lay-by near Revoe Park: wherever it is, the vehicle doesn't need to shift at all for this drain.

Our technicians drain the vehicle where it is.

Awkward to explain? Close to Revoelution Community Hub or a county line? Asking is better than assuming, so ring.

## The one-line version

Still unrun? Keep it that way and phone.

Already run: stop, switch off and ring. Either way, Petrol in Diesel takes it from there around Revoe and anywhere across Lancashire on 0333 366 0103.
