Find Your Situation Has your engine turned over since the AdBlue was put in? This one question settles nearly everything else from here. Not started so far? Then leave it like that, wherever your vehicle is — Sutton or Emstrey. Leave your motor and your ignition off then phone 0333 366 0103; it's generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is in Sutton. Already run? Stop once you safely can, then switch everything off. It is a larger job, yet stage one doesn't change. Find the situation below that matches yours, wherever around Shropshire it happened. ## AdBlue in a diesel on a Sutton forecourt Picture it: stood by the petrol pump, holding the bottle, you spot the cap you took off was not the correct one. Anywhere around Sutton, then — Shell, Esso, or anywhere else close by. Meaning? Finding out here is as good as it gets. Only the tank has AdBlue; no part beyond it has drawn it in. Next: resist the temptation to start it just to move away from the petrol pump. Phone us from the forecourt after your vehicle sits in a bay — the staff will help roll it — then keep the bottle. Can't move it by the pump? Explosion-proof kit makes a busy forecourt sensible, so it can be drained where it is. ## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Sutton drive? The warning light had been on for days. Picked up a bottle, tipped it in outside the house, binned the empty — and at that point checked the cap a second time, after the fact. It happens on drives just off Sutton Road as commonly as anywhere. The point: no driving since makes it almost as good to spotting it at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue settles to the floor of that tank and remains there, however long the night. What to do: leave the keys inside the house so no one moves the vehicle in the morning. Then ring. Springfield or Sutton: wherever your drive is, that's where it is emptied. Our pumping kit works quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Sutton? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Malvern Close, perhaps, or the way towards Wolverhampton — a run of under 50 miles. The upshot: the system has pulled AdBlue through by now. Past the fuel filter, through the lines, and — the further the distance — deeper into the injection pump and every injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Next: pick a sensible place, stop, and turn your engine off. On the M54, under 10 miles from Sutton, that means the next exit, not the services further on. Starting it again to test achieves nothing — AdBlue doesn't clear on its own. Phone, and say what distance the vehicle went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You've just driven this vehicle for days. Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets are side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or keeps it elsewhere. Across Shropshire, nobody is immune. The point: exactly as above, divided by if it ran, only with one added step. Many hire and company contracts want the owner to approve work on your car. Settling it before we arrives is quicker, so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Waiting for an answer at the car park outside Shrewsbury, or beside St Giles' Church Hall? Leave the engine off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank around Sutton? Sometimes the fair answer is "I think so". A slight ammonia-like smell hangs near your filler, the bottle seems too light, and the cap you took off is a blur. Perhaps it happened in a hurry at the school gates at Mereside Church of England Primary Academy, or on a friend's drive in Belle Vue. The upshot: the motor is not hurt by some AdBlue spilled around the filler. If it's inside the diesel tank, though, it does. You can't tell which by turning the key, and doing so would pull in any AdBlue that is in that tank. Assume it got in, and never start your key. Inspecting a tank that turns out clean beats emptying one once it's been run — so phone and describe to us what you noticed. ## The common ground in every Sutton AdBlue drain Each situation gets the same opening to the job. Our engineers come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at The Charles Darwin or a side street near Greek Orthodox Church of Holy Fathers of Nicea & St. John the Baptist, and ask three things: what was put in, about how much, and if your engine has been run. On the phone, ahead of anything else, you are told our price, and those answers shape the work too. Then your tank is drained and your system cleaned thoroughly, which matters more with AdBlue than with petrol: AdBlue crystallises and is corrosive to some of the metals in a fuel system, so it doesn't rinse out on its own. Your filter is flushed, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and your car is tested. Most unrun cars are a half-hour visit after the moment our technicians turn up. Finally, we start it. Before our technicians go, it's checked to be sure it runs smoothly on fresh diesel. Permanent damage is very unusual when it is caught early, 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. It is worth remembering: many insurers include misfuelling cover, and so a check of your policy while you wait is worthwhile. ## About Sutton and where it is Sutton is a suburban area in Shropshire, situated on the riverside at an elevation of 72 metres.
