Find Your Situation All of that turns on a single detail: whether your motor has been run after the AdBlue went in — far more than anything else. If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether the car is around Spring Bank itself or out in Chapel Green. Keep nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, and count on a proper flush after a drain, done right where the car sits around Spring Bank. Already run? Pull over when you safely can, then switch it off. Step one remains unchanged, even though the job grows. Below: the cases we see, anywhere around West Midlands. Choose the one that fits. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Spring Bank forecourt Only now, nozzle yet in your hand, it dawns on you that the cap you took off was the wrong one, right at the petrol pump. Whether the nearest petrol station, Morrisons or somewhere else around Spring Bank, the case is the same. In short: no better place to be to discover it. Still in your tank, with no fuel drawn onwards: that is where the AdBlue is. Clearing the petrol pump is no reason to run it — and so don't get back in. Phone us from the forecourt after your car is in a space — the staff will help roll it — then save the receipt. The equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt, so a vehicle that can't be pushed clear is emptied right at the petrol pump. ## At home around Spring Bank with AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dashboard had been nagging you. Picked up a container, poured it in at home, binned the empty — and at that point checked the cap again, too late. Driveways close to Granville Street see it as much as anywhere. Meaning? As long as your car hasn't been driven since, it's close to the forecourt case. As it is reluctant to blend, AdBlue drops to the base in the tank and waits. A night parked changes none of that. Put the keys in the house overnight — otherwise someone may drive it off first thing — then phone us. Little London or Spring Bank: whichever your drive sits, that's where it is cleared. Our pumping kit works quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night. ## On the road in Spring Bank with AdBlue in a diesel Lumpy running, smoke, lost power or a lit dashboard started a short way after the top-up. Maybe it was on Victoria Street, maybe on the way out towards Wolverhampton, under 5 miles away. Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled into the fuel system. Mileage decides how far it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the high-pressure pump and every injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: pick a safe spot, pull in, and turn your motor off. Spring Bank sits under 3 miles from the M6; on it, come off at the first junction rather than pushing on for the services. Do not restart the vehicle to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Roughly how far had it go? Say so as you phone. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? It's a car you have had for a week. On your own vehicle, AdBlue is absent or somewhere else. On this one, the inlet is just next to your diesel cap — news to you. Across West Midlands, no one is safe from it. Meaning? Whatever applies above counts here — run or unrun — and one extra stage. The owner often has to approve the work, under plenty of hire and company agreements. Next: ring the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before our arrival is quicker. Waiting for an answer in the car park at Willenhall, or beside Willenhall War Memorial? Keep the engine off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank around Spring Bank? At times the honest answer is "I think so". Too light, that bottle; a trace of ammonia round your filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Look familiar? A hurried top-up by the gates of Fibbersley Park Academy, or a call to a friend in Willenhall: both fits. In short: spillage round the filler leaves the motor no harm. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter. Turning on the car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in that tank it will pull it in. Your move: behave as if it did, and don't start your motor. Ring and give what you saw: we would rather find a clean tank than empty one after the engine has run. ## Spring Bank: what every AdBlue drain has in common Whatever the situation, one opening is used. Anywhere your car is — Worker's Rest's car park, a road by St Anne, a driveway, a filling station — our van gets there and we ask for the liquid, the quantity, and if the engine has been run. Answers set the job; the price follows on the call whilst no one has left yet. Draining your tank comes first, followed by a careful flush — more vital with urea than after petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't clear by themselves, no matter how long you wait. Last are your filter, flushed or replaced as needed; clean diesel; and a check of the car. Never started? Then about half an hour on site is most jobs. Our technicians fire it up at the end. Before our technicians leave, it's checked to make sure it runs correctly on fresh diesel. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and long-term damage is very unusual when 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. Check your insurance before we arrive: cover for misfuelling is included in plenty of policies. ## About Spring Bank, briefly Spring Bank is a suburban area located near Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, sitting at an elevation of 134 metres.
