Match what happened to a situation from the ones below, wherever in Worcestershire you are. ## At the pump in Swinesherd: AdBlue in a diesel Imagine it: stood by the pump, gripping the nozzle, you spot the filler you took off was not the right one. It could be the Shell, or perhaps the BP, or another station around Swinesherd. Meaning? Finding out here is the best it gets. The AdBlue is in that tank and nowhere else. Nothing has drawn it in. Your move: stay out of the car, even if the pump needs clearing. Ask the staff to help you push the car into a parking spot, keep the receipt or the bottle, then ring us from the forecourt. If it cannot be shifted, it can be cleared at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and safe on a busy forecourt. ## Swinesherd, at home: AdBlue in your diesel tank For days the dash had been warning you. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look a second time at the cap. It occurs on driveways just off Swinesherd Lane as regularly as anywhere. Put simply: if your vehicle has not moved since, it's nearly equal to finding out at the pump. Diesel and AdBlue keep separate: the AdBlue settles to the base of the tank and stays there, however long the night. Next: prevent an early-morning drive by putting your keys in the house, then ring us. Trotshill or Swinesherd: whichever your driveway sits, that is where it gets drained. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house at night. ## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving around Swinesherd? Topped up, pulled away, and before long the motor was turning unevenly, smoking, losing power, or lighting up your dash. Perhaps it was on Oak Turn, perhaps on the way out towards Worcester, under 3 miles away. In short: the AdBlue has been pulled through the fuel system. Distance decides how deep it goes: filter and lines to begin with, then the injection pump and every injector. Each restart, like each mile, pushes it deeper. Next: find a sensible place, pull in, and switch your engine off. Swinesherd sits under a mile from the M5; there, pull off at the first junction instead of pushing on for the services. No test restarts: clearing isn't something AdBlue does. Call us and say how far you drove. ## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company cars It is a motor you have had for a week. Unbeknown to you, the two fillers are side by side here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or keeps it in another spot. Throughout Worcestershire, nobody is safe from it. Meaning? Whatever applies above counts too — run or not — plus one further stage. The owner frequently needs to sign off the work, under plenty of hire and company contracts. Settling it before we turn up is quicker, so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Stuck near Plymouth Brethren Christian Church or outside Worcester Shrub Hill until the firm replies, your vehicle remains switched off throughout. ## Unsure about AdBlue in the diesel tank around Swinesherd? Honestly, the best answer might be that you think so. The bottle is lighter than it should be, there's a faint smell of ammonia round your filler, and you cannot remember which cap you took off. The gates of Nunnery Wood Primary School in a hurry, perhaps, or a friend's drive over in Warndon. The point: your motor is not hurt by some AdBlue spilled on the filler. Inside the diesel tank, by contrast, AdBlue damages it. If there is AdBlue in that tank, turning on the car would pull it in, and it would not tell you which either. Next: act as though it went in, and keep the motor off. Describe what you noticed on the phone. A clean tank checked counts as a happier outcome than a run one emptied. ## What each AdBlue drain around Swinesherd has in common The work opens the same way, whatever the case. Our engineers come to the vehicle, whether it's on a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at The Oak Apple or a side street near Roma, and ask three things: what went in, roughly how much, and if your engine has been run. Answers shape the job; the price follows by phone whilst nobody has left yet. Draining the tank comes first, followed by a full flush — more important with urea than with petrol, because crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, however long you wait. Fresh diesel goes in once the fuel filter has been flushed or changed, and your car is finally checked. Not started? Then about half an hour on site covers most jobs. Finally, our technicians fire it up. Our check that it runs properly on new diesel comes before we go. Permanent damage is very uncommon if it is caught early, and the entire job is done where the vehicle is. Nothing is paid upfront, payment is made on the day, and you receive what your insurer asks for: an engineer report plus a VAT invoice. Plenty of insurance policies include misfuelling cover, and so it is worth checking yours whilst we're on the way. ## About Swinesherd and where it is Swinesherd is a small hamlet located near Worcester in Worcestershire, set in a low-lying area at an elevation of around 54 metres.
