Find Your Situation Everything turns on a single detail: if your engine has been run after the AdBlue was added — far more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is in Stansty itself or out in Old Rhosrobin. Leave the engine and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it's normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Stansty. Already run? Pull over once safe, then turn everything off. A bigger job, then, yet the same first step. Match your case to one of the ones below, anywhere in Wrexham you are. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Stansty forecourt Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you spot the cap you took off was not the right one. It might be the Sainsbury's, or perhaps the Shell, or a different forecourt around Stansty. What it means: this is the ideal place to find out. The AdBlue is inside your tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. What to do: don't get back in and fire it up to clear the pump. Have the staff to lend a hand pushing it into a space, save the bottle, then phone us right there. Our equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a live forecourt, and so a vehicle that can't be pushed away is cleared where it is at the pump. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank at home in Stansty For days the dashboard had been nagging you. A bottle from the garage, emptied in on the driveway — and it was just by the recycling that the cap caught a second look. Houses just off Lodge Road get caught out as much as anywhere else. Meaning? Provided the vehicle has not moved since, it is close to the forecourt case. On the floor of that tank sits exactly where AdBlue waits, since it won't blend with diesel — and a night passing makes no difference. Put the keys indoors overnight — otherwise a person might drive it off first thing — then call us. In Plas Coch or here in Stansty, the draining is done at your drive. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Stansty? Filled up, drove away, and before long your motor was running unevenly, smoking, down on power, or flashing up your dash. Stansty Road, say, or the route to Wrexham — a trip of under a mile. The upshot: the system has drawn AdBlue in already. The injection pump and each injector get it as well on a longer run, once the filter and pipework have it. More miles, more starts: further it travels. Pull in safely — that's the first job — then switch it off. On the M53, under 15 miles from Stansty, that means the next junction, not the services further on. It won't have cleared, so there is no point restarting to check. Let us hear the mileage driven when you ring. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank Seven days ago, it was new to you. Unbeknown to you, the two fillers sit side by side here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or keeps it elsewhere. Any driver, wherever around Wrexham, could do the same. Put simply: one extra stage on top of the situations above, and those turn on whether it has run. Work on your vehicle often needs the owner's go-ahead under hire or company agreements. Next: phone the hire company or your fleet manager first, then us — sorting it before we arrive is faster. Stuck near Rhosddu Methodist Church or outside Wrexham General till someone answers, the vehicle stays switched off the whole time. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank? Not sure, in Stansty Sometimes the fair answer is "I think so". What cap was taken off, you can't say; but the bottle weighs lighter than expected, and ammonia hangs by your filler. Maybe it happened in a hurry at the school gates at the local primary school, or on a friend's drive in Garden Village. Meaning? Drips around the inlet never reach your motor at all. Once it is inside your diesel tank, though, that changes. Any AdBlue in that tank would be drawn in by turning on the vehicle, and the start would not settle which it is in any case. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Do not fire it up. Phone with what you saw: we would sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once your motor has run. ## Stansty: what each AdBlue drain has in common No matter the case, one start is used. Wherever your vehicle stands — The Railway's car park, a street by TK Maxx, a drive, a filling station — the van arrives and we ask for the fluid, the quantity, plus if the engine has been run. Answers set the work; the price comes on the call while no one has set off yet. A thorough flush follows the drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it is essential, since crystals form and some metals are attacked, and none of it rinses out unaided. Fresh diesel goes in once the filter is cleaned or replaced, and the car is then tested. If your engine hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Finally, our engineers fire it up. Our check that it runs correctly on clean diesel comes before we head off. Lasting damage is very uncommon if it is caught quickly, and the whole job is done where the vehicle is. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Dig out your insurance before we're en route: misfuelling cover comes included in many policies. ## About Stansty and where it is Stansty is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Wrexham in north-east Wales, sitting at an elevation of 87 metres above sea level.
