# AdBlue in the Diesel Tank in Talywain: What Now?

One fact counts above all when AdBlue is in a diesel tank, and it is if your engine has run afterwards.

If it hasn't, keep it that way, whether your car is in Talywain itself or out in Victoria Village.

Switch nothing on, call 0333 366 0103, and count on a thorough flush plus a drain, carried out just where your vehicle stands around Talywain.

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

A bigger job, yes, but the identical first move.

Compare your case to one of the list below, wherever around Torfaen you are.

## AdBlue in a diesel on a Talywain forecourt

The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you just notice it as you're standing at the pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand.

Perhaps you are at the Texaco, maybe at the another forecourt nearby, perhaps somewhere else in Talywain.

Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it can be.

Nothing has drawn it through, and so the AdBlue stays only inside the tank.

Your move: stay out of the driver's seat, however much the queue wants clearing.

Ask the attendants to help you push the car into a parking spot, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt.

Draining it right at the pump is fine when it cannot be shifted, because the equipment is explosion-proof.

## AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Talywain drive?

The warning light had been on for days.

A bottle bought at the shop, tipped in on the driveway — and it was just by the bin that the cap got a second look.

Homes just off Bluett's Road are caught out as often as anywhere else.

The point: no driving since makes it nearly as good to finding it at the petrol pump.

As it is unable to mix, AdBlue settles to the base inside your tank and waits. A night standing changes none of that.

Your move: keys indoors, and so no one takes your car anywhere at breakfast. After that, ring.

Waterloo or Talywain: wherever your driveway is, that's where it is drained.

Our pumping kit works quiet enough that it won't wake the street at night.

## AdBlue in a diesel and already driving in Talywain?

Rough running, smoke, falling power or a lit dashboard arrived a short way beyond the fill.

Commercial Close, perhaps, or the route towards Newport — a run of under 15 miles.

Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue in.

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

Each mile and each restart takes it further.

Your move: stop somewhere safe, then switch the motor off.

On the M4, under 10 miles from Talywain, that means the next exit, not the services further on.

No test starts: clearing isn't something AdBlue does.

Call, saying how far your vehicle was driven.

## AdBlue in the wrong tank: hire, lease and company vehicles

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

Unknown to you, the AdBlue and diesel inlets sit next to each other here — unlike your own vehicle, which has no AdBlue or stores it elsewhere.

Wherever you are in Torfaen, any motorist can slip up.

In short: one extra step on top of the cases above, and those turn on whether it's run.

The owner often has to approve the work, under plenty of hire and fleet contracts.

Next: ring the hire company or the fleet manager first, then us — settling it before we arrive is quicker.

Stranded by Garnsychan Partnership or at Pontypool and New Inn till someone replies, your car stays switched off the whole time.

## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Talywain?

At times, "I think so" is all you can truthfully say.

A faint ammonia-like whiff lingers around your filler, the bottle seems too light, and which cap came off is hard to recall.

The gates of the local primary school in a hurry, say, or someone's drive over in Prospect Place.

The point: your engine is not hurt by a little AdBlue spilled around the outside.

The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is another matter.

Starting your car won't tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it will pull it in.

Assume it got in, and never turn your engine.

Ring with what you saw: we would sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than drain one after your engine has run.

## What each AdBlue drain around Talywain has in common

The job opens identically, whichever the situation.

Anywhere your car is — The Globe Inn's car park, a road by High Street Baptist Church, a drive, a filling station — the van gets there and asks for the liquid, the amount, plus whether the engine has been run.

Replies shape the work; the quote follows on the call while nobody has left yet.

Emptying your tank comes first, then a careful flush — more important with urea than with petrol, since crystals and corrosion won't go by themselves, no matter how long you wait.

Finally come the filter, cleaned or replaced if necessary; clean diesel; and a check of the vehicle.

Where your motor hasn't been started, allow roughly half an hour on site, for most cases.

The last step is firing it up.

Before we head off, it's checked to be sure it runs smoothly on new diesel.

The whole job is done where the car is, and if it's caught early, lasting damage is very unusual.

Nothing is paid upfront, payment happens on the day, and you receive what your insurer wants: an engineer report and a VAT invoice.

Many insurance policies cover misfuelling, so check yours while the van travels.
