What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if the engine has run since it got in. Out in St Woolos or here in Stow Park, an unrun motor should remain that way. Leave the engine and your ignition off and phone 0333 366 0103; it's usually a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Stow Park. If it has run, stop as soon as it is safe then switch off. Stage one remains the same, even if the job is bigger. Below: the cases our technicians meet, anywhere in Newport. Choose yours. ## At the pump in Stow Park: AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: standing by the pump, gripping the bottle, you realise the cap you took off was not the correct one. Somewhere around Stow Park, then — Asda, Tesco, or somewhere else nearby. The point: of all places to find out, the forecourt is the best. The AdBlue is inside the tank and nowhere else. Nothing has sucked it in. Do this: stay out of the car, however much the pump wants freeing. Ask the staff to help you push the car into a parking space, keep the receipt or the bottle, then phone us from the forecourt. Draining it there at the pump is possible when it can't be moved, because the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank at home in Stow Park On the dash, a warning had shown all week. Bought a bottle, poured it in at home, recycled the empty — and only then looked at the cap again, after the fact. It happens on drives just off Bassaleg Road as regularly as anywhere. The upshot: zero miles since makes it almost equal to finding it at the petrol pump. On the floor of that tank is exactly where AdBlue waits, since it will not blend with diesel — and a night passing changes nothing of the difference. What to do: leave your keys inside the house so no one moves your car in the morning. Then ring. In Caerau Park or right here around Stow Park, the drain is done at your driveway. Late-night empties beside a house are no problem: the pumps are low-noise. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Stow Park? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later the engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Somewhere along Llanthewy Road or on the road to Newport — under a mile away. Meaning? Your pump has sucked the AdBlue up. The high-pressure pump and each injector see it too on a longer trip, after the filter and pipework have had it. It travels further with every extra mile driven and every restart. Pull in safely — that is the first step — then turn everything off. On the M4, under a mile from Stow Park, that means the next exit, not the services further on. It won't have cleared, and so there's no sense starting it again to check. Roughly what distance had it gone? Say so when you call. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank of a hire, lease or company car Seven days back, the car was new to you. Unknown to you, the two inlets are next to each other here — unlike your own vehicle, which has none or stores it in another spot. It can happen to anyone, anywhere in Newport. What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it has run, with one more stage. The owner frequently has to approve the work, under plenty of hire and company agreements. Settling it before we arrives is quicker, and so phone the rental company or your fleet manager, and then us. Stranded near Cwtsh Arts Centre or outside Newport (South Wales) until someone answers, the vehicle remains turned off the whole time. ## Stow Park: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? "I think so" is sometimes the most honest as it gets. A faint ammonia smell lingers around the filler, the bottle feels too light, and which cap came off is a blur. A rushed stop by the gates of the local primary school, or a visit to a friend in Allt-yr-yn: both fits. What it means: a little spilled round your filler does no damage to your engine. Inside the diesel tank, however, AdBlue damages it. If there is AdBlue in your tank, starting the vehicle will suck it in, and it would not tell you which either. Take it that it got in, and don't turn the key. Tell us what you saw on your phone. A clean tank checked counts as a happier outcome than an already-run one drained. ## Each AdBlue drain around Stow Park shares these steps Each situation gets the same opening to the work. Anywhere your car stands — The Handpost Hotel's car park, a street beside St. John the Baptist Church, a driveway, a filling station — our van gets there and asks for the liquid, the quantity, plus whether the engine has been run. Over the phone, ahead of anything else, you hear the price, and those replies shape the job too. Draining your tank comes first, followed by a careful flush — more important after urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, however long you wait. Finally are your filter, cleaned or replaced if necessary; clean diesel; and a test of the car. If the motor hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. Last, we fire it up. Our technicians make sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel before leaving. The whole job is done where your car is, and when it is noticed soon, lasting damage is very uncommon. Nothing is taken upfront, settlement happens on the day, and you receive what the insurer asks for: an engineer report and a VAT invoice. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, so it's worth checking yours whilst we are on the way. ## About Stow Park Stow Park is a suburban area located on the outskirts of Newport in Wales, situated near the coast at an elevation of 73 metres.
