--- title: Seghill: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank, What Next canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/seghill-northumberland/ location: Seghill county: Northumberland latitude: 55.062490 longitude: -1.553830 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-28 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Seghill, and What to Do Next Has the motor run since the AdBlue went in? This single question settles almost everything about what comes next. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is around Seghill itself or out in Collingwood Chase. Normally that is draining and properly rinsing it right there in Seghill — so keep your key and motor off and phone 0333 366 0103. Already started? Pull over once you safely can, then turn everything off. It is a bigger job, though stage one doesn't change. Anywhere across Northumberland it took place, one of the cases below matches yours. ## On a Seghill forecourt with AdBlue in a diesel The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only spot it while you're stood at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Anywhere around Seghill, then — Co-op Food, BP, or somewhere else nearby. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is as good as it can be. Still in the tank, with no fuel drawn onwards: that is where the AdBlue sits. Next: resist the urge to start it only to free up the pump. Get the staff to help rolling it to a bay, hold on to the bottle, then phone us right there. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, and so a car that can't be pushed clear gets cleared where it is at the pump. ## Seghill, at home: AdBlue in the diesel tank For days the dashboard had been nagging you. A bottle bought at the shop, tipped in on the driveway — and it was only at the recycling that the cap got a second look. It occurs on drives just off Laycock Gardens as often as anywhere. Meaning? Provided the car has not moved since, it is second to the forecourt case. Being unable to mix, AdBlue drops to the base inside your tank and stays. A night parked changes nothing. Next: prevent an early-morning move by keeping the keys indoors, then phone us. Our engineers drain it on your drive, whether that's in Seghill or out in Collingwood. Our pumping kit works quietly enough not to disturb the neighbours at night. ## Drove off with AdBlue in a diesel in Seghill? Rough running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard started a short way beyond the fill. Somewhere along Oakfield Way or heading to Newcastle upon Tyne — under 10 miles away. What it means: your fuel system has drawn the AdBlue in. It has been through your filter and your lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure fuel pump and your injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: find a safe place, stop, and switch the motor off. Leave at the first junction — not the services further along — if you're on the A167(M), under 10 miles from Seghill. Don't restart the car to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone us and say how far you went. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars It's a motor you have had for a week. On your own car, AdBlue is absent or elsewhere. On this one, the inlet is right by your diesel cap — a surprise to you. Any driver, wherever around Northumberland, might do it. The point: exactly as above, split by if it ran, only with an added step. The owner frequently has to approve the work, under many hire and fleet agreements. Next: ring the rental company or your fleet manager first, and then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. Stranded near Seghill Institute Comminuty Centre or outside Seaton Delaval until the firm replies, the vehicle remains switched off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank in Seghill? At times the fair answer is "I think so". The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia about the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. The gates of Seghill First School in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's driveway out in East Cramlington. What it means: a little spilled round the filler does no harm to your motor. Once it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. You can't tell which by turning the ignition, and doing so would pull in any AdBlue that is in your tank. Assume it went in, and never turn your key. Checking a tank that proves clean is better than draining one after it's been run — so ring then describe to us what you saw. ## What each AdBlue drain around Seghill has in common Whichever situation you are in, the job starts the same way. Filling station, drive, Seghill Comrades Club's car park or a road beside Seghill RFC — the van comes to the vehicle, and three questions follow: which liquid, which quantity, and whether it ran. On the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told our price, and those answers decide the job too. A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it is crucial, since deposits form and some metals corrode, and neither rinses away unaided. Then is the fuel filter — cleaned, or replaced when needed — then clean diesel, and a test of your car. If the engine hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Our engineers fire it up last. We confirm it runs smoothly on new diesel before we leave. We do the whole job where the car is, and permanent damage is very uncommon when it has been noticed quickly. For your insurer: the engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment on the day, no money upfront. Plenty of policies cover misfuelling, and so look at yours as we head over. ## About Seghill itself Seghill is a village in Northumberland, situated inland at an elevation of 47 metres, approximately 6 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne.
