St Peter The Great: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Has the engine run since the AdBlue went in? That one point decides almost everything else from here. Not started yet? Then leave the vehicle like that, whether your car sits — St Peter The Great or Red Hill. Normally this means draining and properly flushing it on the spot around St Peter The Great — and so leave your key and motor off then ring 0333 366 0103. Where your engine has been run, pull in safely first, then switch the vehicle off. Stage one remains the same, even if the job is bigger.
Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Worcestershire it happened.
AdBlue in a diesel on a St Peter The Great forecourt
Only at this point, bottle still in your hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump. Maybe you're at the Tesco, perhaps at the Esso, possibly somewhere else in St Peter The Great.
What it means: this is the ideal place to find out. Nothing has pulled it in, so the AdBlue sits only in your tank.
Next: avoid the temptation to fire it up only to move away from the pump. Have the staff to help rolling it to a space, hold on to the bottle, then ring us from there. Can't move the vehicle beside the petrol pump? Explosion-proof kit keeps a live forecourt safe, so we can drain the car where it is.
At home around St Peter The Great with AdBlue in the diesel tank
Several days had passed with the warning light on. Picked up a bottle, tipped it in outside the house, recycled the empty — and at that point checked the cap a second time, after the fact. Right off Bath Road is not less likely from anywhere.
The upshot: no driving since makes it nearly equal to finding it at the pump. At the bottom of your tank sits exactly where AdBlue waits, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes nothing of the difference.
Put your keys indoors overnight — or a person might take it away at breakfast — then phone us. Our engineers drain the car on your driveway, whether that is around St Peter The Great or out in St Peter the Great. Even at night, our pumps are quiet enough for a residential street.
On the road in St Peter The Great with AdBlue in a diesel
You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Arden Road, perhaps, or the way to Worcester — a run of under 3 miles.
Put simply: the AdBlue has been pulled into the fuel system. The high-pressure pump and every injector get it as well on a longer trip, after your filter and pipework have it. It travels further with each extra mile covered and each restart.
Next: find a sensible place, stop, and switch the engine off. On the M5, under 3 miles from St Peter The Great, that means the next exit, not the services further on. It will not have cleared, so there is no point starting it again to check. Call, and say what distance the car went.
AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car
Seven days ago, it was new to you. The AdBlue filler is right beside the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Any driver, wherever around Worcestershire, might make the same.
The upshot: exactly as above, divided by whether it ran, but with an added stage. Work on the vehicle often needs the owner's approval under rental or company terms.
Next: phone the rental company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is quicker. If you are stuck in the car park outside Worcester Shrub Hill, or by St Peter's Parish Hall, whilst you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.
Not sure it was AdBlue in the diesel tank, St Peter The Great?
Occasionally the honest answer is "I think so". What cap came off, you can't say; meanwhile the bottle weighs lighter than it ought to, and a whiff of ammonia hangs by the filler. Possibly it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Cherry Orchard Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Diglis.
In short: spillage round the filler leaves your motor no harm. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. Firing up your car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it will pull it in.
Next: act as though it went in, and leave your engine off. Call us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out clean than drain one that has already been run.
Each AdBlue drain around St Peter The Great shares these stages
Each case has the same start to the work. Our engineers come to the car, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Anchor or a side street close to Saint Peter's Baptist Church, and ask three things: what went in, roughly how much, and if your engine has run. Those replies decide the work, and you hear our quote on the phone, before anyone heads out.
AdBlue crystallises and eats at certain metals in fuel systems, so it does not wash out on its own; that is why the flush, after this drain, matters far more here than with petrol. Finally come the fuel filter, cleaned or replaced if necessary; fresh diesel; and a test of the vehicle. Not started? In that case roughly half an hour once we are there covers most jobs.
The last step is firing it up. Our test that it runs correctly on clean diesel comes before we head off. The whole job is done where the car is, and if it is spotted soon, permanent damage is very uncommon. Nothing is paid upfront, payment is made on the day, and you receive what the insurer wants: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. It is worth knowing: lots of insurers include misfuelling cover, so a quick look at your documents as you wait is worthwhile.
