Not run yet? Then leave it like that, whether the vehicle is — Ridgeway Moor or Birleyhay. Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, carried out just where your car stands in Ridgeway Moor. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Step one stays the same, even if the work grows. Wherever in Derbyshire it happened, one of the situations below fits yours. ## On a Ridgeway Moor forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the nozzle, you realise the filler you opened was not the correct one. Whether the nearest petrol station, Total or anywhere else around Ridgeway Moor, the situation is the same. Put simply: no better place exists to discover it. Just the tank holds AdBlue; no component beyond it has taken it in. What to do: don't get back in and crank it to clear the pump. A few things: a push into a bay with the staff assisting, the bottle saved, and a call to us from where you stand. If it cannot be shifted, it can be cleared at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a working forecourt. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Ridgeway Moor For days the dashboard had been warning 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. It happens on drives just off Ridgeway Courtyard as commonly as anywhere. Meaning? As long as the vehicle has not been driven since, it's second to the forecourt case. Being reluctant to mix, AdBlue drops low in that tank and waits. One night parked changes none of that. Your move: keys indoors, so no one takes the car off first thing. After that, ring. Ridgeway or Ridgeway Moor: whichever your driveway is, that is where it is emptied. Even at night, the pumps are quiet enough for a residential street. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Ridgeway Moor? Rough running, smoke, falling power or a glowing dashboard arrived a mile or two beyond the top-up. Main Road, say, or the route towards Sheffield — a run of under 5 miles. Meaning? Your fuel pump has taken the AdBlue up. Past your filter, through the lines, and — the more the mileage — on into the injection pump and every injector. It goes further with each extra mile covered and every restart. Stop somewhere safe — that is the first step — then switch it off. On the M1, under 5 miles from Ridgeway Moor, that means the next exit, not the services further on. No test starts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue will do. Tell us know the distance driven when you ring. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles It is a car you have had for a week. Your own motor either has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere, so no one warned you the AdBlue cap was just next to your diesel. Throughout Derbyshire, no one is safe from it. Meaning? Whatever case above applies here — run or not — plus one further step. Many hire and fleet agreements need the owner's sign-off before repairs. Settling it before the van turn up is quicker, so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Leave the vehicle switched off as the reply arrives, whether you're waiting at Woodhouse or near St John the Evangelist. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Ridgeway Moor At times, "I think so" is the most you can honestly say. Too light, that bottle; a hint of ammonia near your filler; no clear recollection of the cap. Sound familiar? A hurried stop by the gates of Ridgeway Primary School, or a call to a friend in Birley: either fit. In short: spillage round your filler does the motor unharmed. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter. Any AdBlue in that tank would be pulled in by firing up the vehicle, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case. Take it that it was put in, and never turn the key. Ring and give the details: we would rather find a tank free of AdBlue than drain one once the motor has been run. ## The common ground in each Ridgeway Moor AdBlue drain Every case gets the same start to the work. Filling station, driveway, The Swan's car park or a road by Mosborough Through The Ages — our van comes to your vehicle, and three answers come next: which fluid, which amount, and if it ran. The price is given over the phone, before a van leaves, and those answers shape the work. Then that tank is emptied and the fuel system rinsed thoroughly, which counts more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it does not rinse out on its own. Finally are the filter, cleaned or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a test of the vehicle. If your motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there. The last step is firing it up. Our test that it runs correctly on fresh diesel comes before our technicians go. The entire job is done where the vehicle is, and when it's caught early, long-term damage is very rare. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Many policies cover misfuelling, and so look at yours as we head over. ## About Ridgeway Moor and where it is Ridgeway Moor is a locality in Derbyshire, situated near the River Don and close to the city of Sheffield.
