# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Rosemaryhill: What Now?

Has your motor turned over since the AdBlue got in? That single question decides nearly everything about what comes next.

Out in Hanstubbin or here in Rosemaryhill, an unrun engine must stay unrun.

Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, then count on a thorough flush plus a drain, done just where your car stands in Rosemaryhill.

When your engine has run, stop somewhere safe first, then switch the car off.

The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same.

Compare your case to a situation from the list below, wherever across Nottinghamshire you happen to be.

## At the pump in Rosemaryhill: AdBlue in a diesel

Picture it: stood by the pump, gripping the bottle, you spot the cap you took off wasn't the right one.

Be it BP, Gulf or anywhere else in Rosemaryhill, the case is the same.

What it means: this is the best place to find out.

No pump has drawn it in, and so the AdBlue sits just inside that tank.

Your move: stay out of the car, even if the queue wants clearing.

A few jobs: a shove into a bay with the attendants helping, the receipt kept, and a ring to us from where you stand.

Our equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away gets drained right at the petrol pump.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Rosemaryhill

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 a second time at the cap.

Right off Maple Way is not different from anywhere.

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

At the bottom of the tank sits where AdBlue waits, since it won't mix with diesel — and a night going by makes no difference.

Next: stop any early-morning drive by keeping your keys in the house, then ring us.

Commonside or Rosemaryhill: whichever your driveway sits, that's where it is emptied.

Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway.

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

Filled up, drove away, and before long your motor was running unevenly, blowing smoke, losing power, or lighting up the dash.

Possibly it was on Chestnut Drive, perhaps on the way out towards Nottingham, under 15 miles away.

Meaning? The fuel pump has taken the AdBlue up.

Past the fuel filter, along the pipework, and — the more the mileage — on into the high-pressure pump and every injector.

Each restart, like every mile, pushes it on.

Your move: stop anywhere sensible, then turn the motor off.

Exit at the first junction — not the services further along — if you are on the M1, under a mile from Rosemaryhill.

Starting it again to test gets nothing — AdBlue never clears itself.

Roughly what distance had it go? Say so as you call.

## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank

Seven days back, the car was unknown to you.

On your own car, AdBlue is missing or elsewhere. On this one, the cap is right next to your diesel inlet — news to you.

Anyone, anywhere around Nottinghamshire, could make it.

What it means: the same as the situations above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage.

Many hire and company agreements require the owner's sign-off for repairs.

Settling it before we arrives is faster, and so ring the rental company or your fleet manager, then us.

Waiting for an answer in the car park at Kirkby in Ashfield, or near Selston Leisure Centre? Leave your car off throughout.

## AdBlue in your diesel tank? Not sure, around Rosemaryhill

Honestly, the only answer may be that you think so.

Which cap was taken off, you can't recall; but the bottle weighs less than it ought to, and ammonia lingers by the filler.

A rushed stop by the gates of Holly Hill Primary and Nursery School, or a call to a friend in Dove Green: both fit.

What it means: a little spilled round the filler does no damage to the engine.

The diesel tank with AdBlue inside is a different matter.

You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so will pull in any AdBlue that is in the tank.

Do this: act as though it did, and don't start your motor.

Call us and explain what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.

## Rosemaryhill: what each AdBlue drain has in common

Whichever situation you are in, this job starts the same way.

Wherever the vehicle is — Dogs Paws's car park, a road by Tin Hat Centre, a drive, a forecourt — our van gets there and we ask for the liquid, the amount, and whether the motor has turned over.

Answers set the job; the quote comes by phone whilst no one has set off yet.

A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it's crucial, since crystals form and some metals are attacked, and none of that rinses out unaided.

Last are your filter, cleaned or replaced as needed; clean diesel; and a check of your car.

If the engine hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there.

We start the engine at the end.

Before we go, it's checked to be sure it runs properly on clean diesel.

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

You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer.

Worth knowing: lots of insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a check of your policy as you wait pays.
