# Stile Common: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation

Has the motor turned over since the AdBlue went in? That single question decides almost everything else from here.

Anywhere the vehicle stands — Folly Hall, Stile Common — don't start a motor that has not run yet.

Leave your motor and the ignition off and ring 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is in Stile Common.

If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off.

Step one remains unchanged, even if the work is bigger.

Compare your case to a situation from the list below, anywhere in West Yorkshire you happen to be.

## At the pump around Stile Common: AdBlue in a diesel

Only at this point, bottle yet in hand, you realise that the cap you took off was the wrong one, there at the petrol pump.

Perhaps you're at the Esso, possibly at the Shell, perhaps somewhere else in Stile Common.

Put simply: there is no better place to be to spot it.

Still in the tank, with nothing drawn through: that is where the AdBlue sits.

What to do: do not get back in and start it to clear the petrol pump.

Three things: a shove into a space with the staff assisting, the receipt saved, and a call to us from where you stand.

If it cannot be shifted, it can be emptied at the petrol pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Stile Common drive?

The warning light had been on for days.

You bought a bottle, poured it in on the driveway, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look a second time at the cap.

Right off Newsome Road is no less likely from any other place.

The point: zero driving since leaves this nearly as good to spotting it at the pump.

AdBlue does not mix with diesel; it sinks to the bottom of the tank and waits there. Overnight doesn't change that.

Next: the keys in the house, and so nobody drives the car off first thing. After that, ring.

Our technicians drain the vehicle on your driveway, whether that is around Stile Common or out in Ashenhurst.

Night-time empties outside a house are fine: the pumps are low-noise.

## On the road around Stile Common with AdBlue in a diesel

You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard.

Maybe it was on Lower Whitegate Road, maybe on the way out towards Bradford, under 15 miles away.

The upshot: your system has pulled AdBlue through already.

The high-pressure pump and each injector see it as well on a longer trip, once your filter and lines have had it.

It goes deeper with each extra mile covered and each restart.

What to do: pull over where it is safe to do so and switch off.

Exit at the next junction — not the services further along — if you're on the M62, under 5 miles from Stile Common.

No test restarts: clearing itself is not something AdBlue does.

Call, and say how far your vehicle was driven.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car

It's a motor you have had for a week.

Unbeknown to you, the two fillers sit next to each other here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere.

Throughout West Yorkshire, nobody is safe from it.

Meaning? Whichever case above applies too — run or not — and one further stage.

Any work on your car often needs the owner's approval under hire or company terms.

What to do: call the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That's quicker settled before we get there than after.

Hanging on for an answer at the car park outside Lockwood, or near Church of God of Prophecy? Keep your car off throughout.

## Stile Common: unsure whether it was AdBlue in the diesel tank?

Honestly, the best answer might be that you think it did.

Too light, the bottle; a hint of ammonia near the filler; no clear recollection of the cap. Sound familiar?

Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Hillside Primary School, or on a friend's drive in Lower Houses.

Meaning? Drips outside the inlet don't touch your engine at all.

The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter.

Starting the vehicle cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in your tank it will pull it in.

What to do: treat it as if it went in. Do not fire it up.

Inspecting a tank that turns out clean beats emptying one once it's been run — so phone then tell us what you noticed.

## What each AdBlue drain in Stile Common has in common

The job begins the same way, whatever the situation.

Our engineers come to the car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at The Star Inn or a side street near The Newsome Centre, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and if the motor has been run.

Answers shape the job; the price comes by phone whilst no one has set off yet.

Then that tank is drained and the fuel system rinsed thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, and so it does not rinse out on its own.

Fresh diesel goes in after the fuel filter is cleaned or replaced, and your car is then tested.

If the engine hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there.

Last, our technicians start it.

With clean diesel in, it runs while our technicians confirm it is running correctly, and then we head off.

Our technicians do the whole job where the car is, and lasting damage is very uncommon when it has been noticed quickly.

Paying is on the day, never upfront. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer.

Dig out your insurance before we arrive: misfuelling cover is built into many policies.
