--- title: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank Street End: What Now canonical: https://www.petrolinadieselcar.co.uk/adblue-in-diesel/street-end-somerset/ location: Street End county: Somerset latitude: 51.327530 longitude: -2.718580 service: AdBlue in a Diesel Tank updated: 2026-10-26 --- # AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Street End: What Now? One fact counts above all once AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is whether your engine has run since. If it has not, keep it that way, whether the vehicle is around Street End itself or out in Rickford. Leave your engine and the ignition off and call 0333 366 0103; it is normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the car is around Street End. Stop the minute it is safe then turn off, if it has been run. It's a larger job, yet step one doesn't change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever in Somerset it happened. ## At the petrol pump around Street End: AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: standing by the pump, holding the bottle, you spot the cap you took off wasn't the correct one. Whether Pace, Esso or anywhere else around Street End, the case is identical. Meaning? Finding out on the forecourt is as good as it gets. Just the tank holds AdBlue; no component past it has taken any in. Next: avoid the urge to fire it up only to free up the pump. Ask the attendants to help you roll the vehicle into a parking spot, keep your receipt or the bottle, then call us from the forecourt. If it cannot be moved, it can be drained at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt. ## At home in Street End with AdBlue in your diesel tank On the dash, a reminder had been lit all week. Only at the recycling bin, the empty container in hand, did you look back at the cap you'd opened at the drive. Houses just off Street End get caught out as often as anywhere else. Put simply: if the vehicle hasn't moved since, it's nearly as good as spotting it at the pump. Being unable to mix, AdBlue settles to the base inside your tank and waits. One night parked alters none of that. Next: stop an early move by keeping the keys indoors, then phone us. Your drive is where it is drained, be it in Street End or Blagdon. Even at night, the pumps stay quiet enough for a driveway. ## On the road around Street End with AdBlue in a diesel Filled up, pulled away, and before long your motor was turning unevenly, blowing smoke, losing power, or lighting up the dash. Somewhere on High Street or on the road to Wells — under 10 miles away. Meaning? Your fuel pump has sucked the AdBlue up. Past the fuel filter, along the pipework, and — the more the distance — on into the high-pressure pump and every injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Pull in safely — that is the first step — then switch everything off. Leave at the next junction — not the services beyond — if you are on the M5, under 10 miles from Street End. No test restarts: clearing itself isn't something AdBlue will do. Call us and say how far you went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've only driven this vehicle a week. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets are next to each other here — not like your own vehicle, which has none or stores it in another spot. It can happen to anyone, anywhere around Somerset. The upshot: exactly as above, divided by if it ran, only with an added stage. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on your car. Your move: rental firm or your fleet manager first, us second, because sorting it beforehand saves time. Waiting for a reply at the car park at Yatton, or near Blagdon Village Club? Keep the engine off throughout. ## Street End: unsure if it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? At times, "I think so" is the most you can honestly say. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there is a faint smell of ammonia about the filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. The gates of Blagdon Primary School in a rush, perhaps, or someone's drive over in Bourne. The point: your engine is not harmed by a little AdBlue splashed around the outside. AdBlue inside your diesel tank does. Turning on your car will not tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will draw it in. What to do: treat it as if it got in. Don't start it. Tell us what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank looked at counts as a better result than an already-run one drained. ## The common ground in every Street End AdBlue drain No matter the situation, one start is used. Three things are asked when we arrive — on a filling station, a drive, a street beside Saint Andrew's or the car park at Seymour Arms: the fluid, the quantity, and whether the motor has run. Replies set the work; the quote comes on the call while no one has set off yet. AdBlue forms crystals and eats at some metals in fuel systems, so it does not rinse out unaided; that is why the flush, after the drain, counts much more with AdBlue than with petrol. Your filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; fresh diesel goes in; and the car is tested. Most unstarted vehicles are a half-hour visit after the moment our engineers arrive. Firing it up comes last. Our engineers make sure it runs smoothly on clean diesel before leaving. If it is noticed soon, the car very rarely has lasting damage, and the entire job happens where it is. For your insurer: an engineer's report and the VAT invoice. For you: payment that day, nothing upfront. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Street End itself Street End is a small suburban area in inland Somerset, situated near the city of Wells and other nearby places such as Blagdon, West End, and East End.
