Stanwardine in the Fields forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump

You are at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Whether Shell, Essar or somewhere else around Stanwardine in the Fields, the case is identical.

What it means: this is the ideal location to find out. Nothing has pulled it in, so the AdBlue sits just in the tank.

Do this: keep out of the driver's seat, even if the pump wants clearing. Have the attendants to lend a hand pushing it into a space, hold on to the bottle, then ring us from there. Draining it there at the petrol pump is fine when it cannot be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

AdBlue in the diesel tank at home around Stanwardine in the Fields

For days the dashboard had been nagging you. A bottle from the shop, tipped in on the drive — and it was only at the bin that the cap got a second look. It happens on driveways just off The Paddocks as regularly as anywhere.

What it means: if you haven't driven since, this is nearly as good as the forecourt. Diesel and AdBlue stay apart: the AdBlue settles to the floor of the tank and remains there, however long the night.

Next: prevent any early-morning drive by keeping your keys indoors, then phone us. Weston Lullingfields or Stanwardine in the Fields: whichever your drive is, that's where it gets cleared. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night.

AdBlue drain on a forecourt in Stanwardine in the Fields

AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Stanwardine in the Fields?

Topped up, pulled away, and soon your motor was running roughly, smoking, losing power, or lighting up the dash. Somewhere along B4397 or else on the road to Wrexham — under 25 miles away.

In short: the AdBlue has been sucked into the system. It's been through the filter and the lines and, the further you went, into your high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Every restart, like each mile, carries it deeper.

Pull in somewhere safe — that is the next job — then turn everything off. Services further along are too far: on the M54, under 25 miles out of Stanwardine in the Fields, take the next junction. It will not have cleared, so there is no sense starting it again to check. Roughly what distance had it gone? Tell us when you call.

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

A week back, the car was new to you. Your own car either has no AdBlue or puts it elsewhere, and so no one warned you the AdBlue cap was just next to your diesel. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Shropshire.

What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Plenty of rental and fleet agreements require the owner's sign-off for work.

Next: ring the rental company or your fleet manager first, and then us — sorting it before our arrival is quicker. If you are stranded in the car park outside Yorton, or by The Berth Hillfort, while you wait for an answer, leave the vehicle off.

Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Stanwardine in the Fields?

Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think it did. Too light, that bottle; a hint of ammonia near the filler; a hazy recollection of which cap. Look familiar? The gates of Weston Lullingfields Church of England Primary School and Nursery in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's drive over in Westoncommon.

The point: the motor is not harmed by some AdBlue splashed around the filler. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different matter. Any AdBlue in your tank would be pulled in by starting your car, and the start wouldn't settle which it is in any case.

Take it that it was put in, and don't start your engine. Phone with the details: we would sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than drain one once the motor has run.

Stanwardine in the Fields: what every AdBlue drain has in common

No matter the situation, a single start is used. Three questions are asked when our engineers reach your car — at a forecourt, a drive, a road beside Holy Trinity or the car park outside the pub in the village: the liquid, the amount, and whether it has run. Those answers determine the work, and you hear our price by phone, before anybody sets off.

A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it's standard; with AdBlue it's crucial, since crystals build up and certain metals corrode, and neither washes out unaided. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. If your motor has not run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we're there.

The final step is starting the engine. Before our engineers leave, it is checked to be sure it runs correctly on fresh diesel. If it is caught early, the vehicle very seldom has permanent damage, and the entire job happens where it is. Nothing is paid upfront, settlement is made on the day, and you receive what the insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. It is worth knowing: lots of insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a check of your policy as we travel is worthwhile.
