Rose Hill: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
One thing counts most when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and that is whether the motor has been started since. Out in Fulledge or right around Rose Hill, an unstarted motor should stay unrun. Phone 0333 366 0103 with the ignition and motor both off. In Rose Hill, such a case is typically drained and cleaned where it stands. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. It is a larger job, yet step one does not change.
Anywhere in Lancashire it took place, one of the cases below matches yours.
At the pump around Rose Hill: AdBlue in a diesel
Just at this point, bottle yet in hand, you realise that the cap you opened was the wrong one, right at the pump. Be it Shell, EG On the Move or somewhere else around Rose Hill, the situation is identical.
In short: there is no better spot to be to spot it. Only the tank has AdBlue; no part past it has taken any in.
Freeing the petrol pump is no reason to run it — so do not get back in. Get the staff to help pushing it to a bay, hold on to the bottle, then phone us right there. Emptying it right at the pump is possible if it can't be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.
At home in Rose Hill with AdBlue in the diesel tank
Several days had gone by with the warning light on. A bottle from the shop, emptied in at the driveway — and it's just at the bin that the cap got a second look. Driveways close to Reynolds Street see it as much as any other street.
Put simply: if the vehicle has not been driven since, it is almost equal to spotting it at the pump. AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of your tank and waits there. Overnight does not change that.
What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves the vehicle in the morning. Then call. Out in Burnley or right here around Rose Hill, the drain happens on your drive. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.
Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel in Rose Hill?
You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Anywhere along Manchester Road or else on the road to Preston — under 25 miles away.
Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue in. The injection pump and every injector get it too on a longer trip, after the fuel filter and lines have it. Every restart, like every mile, carries it deeper.
Your move: pull up somewhere sensible, then switch the motor off. Leave by the first junction — not the services beyond — if you are on the M65, under 3 miles from Rose Hill. No trial starts: clearing is not something AdBlue does. Let us know the mileage driven when you call.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
You have just had the vehicle for days. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or somewhere else. On this one, the inlet is just next to your diesel cap — a surprise to you. Across Lancashire, nobody is immune.
Put simply: one extra stage on top of the cases above, and those depend on if it has run. The owner frequently needs to sign off any work, under plenty of hire and fleet contracts.
Sorting it before we arrives is faster, and so ring the hire company or your fleet manager, and then us. Waiting for a reply in the car park at Burnley Manchester Road, or beside St Matthew The Apostle? Keep your car off throughout.
Rose Hill: unsure whether it was AdBlue in your diesel tank?
Honestly, the only answer might be that you think it did. A faint ammonia-like whiff hangs around the filler, the bottle feels too light, and the cap you took off is a blur. A rushed stop by the gates of Christ The King Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy, or a visit to a friend in Stoneyholme: both fit.
In short: a spill near your filler leaves your motor no harm. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Any AdBlue in your tank would be sucked in by starting your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.
Next: act as though it got in, and keep your motor off. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
Rose Hill: what each AdBlue drain has in common
Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Forecourt, drive, The Rose and Crown's car park or a road beside Coal CLough Library — our van reaches your car, and three answers follow: which liquid, what quantity, and whether it ran. Your price is given on the call, ahead of anyone setting off, and the answers shape the work.
A thorough flush follows this drain. With petrol it is routine; with AdBlue it's essential, because deposits form and some metals corrode, and neither washes out unaided. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. Not started? Then roughly half an hour on site covers most jobs.
Lastly, we fire it up. Before our engineers head off, it's checked to make sure it runs smoothly on clean diesel. When it is caught early, the car very seldom has lasting damage, and the entire job takes place where it is. Payment is on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice and a report from the engineer. Plenty of insurance policies cover misfuelling, and so look at yours while the van travels.
