Templeborough: AdBlue in the Diesel Tank? Find Your Situation
Has your engine run since the AdBlue got in? This single question settles almost everything about what comes next. Anywhere the vehicle stands — Tinsley, Templeborough — don't start an engine that hasn't been started yet. Leave your motor and your ignition off then ring 0333 366 0103; it's normally a drain and a thorough flush, done where your car is around Templeborough. If it's run, stop as soon as it is safe and switch off. Stage one remains the same, even though the work is bigger.
Anywhere around South Yorkshire it took place, one of the situations below matches yours.
Templeborough forecourt: AdBlue in a diesel at the pump
The cap you unscrewed was the wrong one — and you only notice it as you're stood at the petrol pump, bottle or the nozzle in hand. Be it JET, Sainsbury's or somewhere else around Templeborough, the case is the same.
Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it gets. Nothing has drawn it through, so the AdBlue sits only in the tank.
What to do: don't get back in and start the car to clear the pump. Ring us from the forecourt after the vehicle sits in a bay — the attendants will lend a hand to roll it — and keep the bottle. If it cannot be shifted, it can be emptied at the pump: the equipment is explosion-proof and fine on a busy forecourt.
AdBlue in the diesel tank on a Templeborough drive?
For days the dash had been warning you. A bottle bought at the garage, tipped in at the drive — and it was just by the bin that the cap got your eye. Right off Sheffield Road is no less likely from any other place.
In short: if your vehicle has not moved since, it is almost as good as finding out at the pump. At the floor of your tank is exactly where AdBlue stays, because it won't blend with diesel — and a night passing changes no difference.
Your move: keys in the house, and so nobody drives the vehicle off at breakfast. After that, ring. Your drive is where it gets drained, whether in Templeborough or Jordon. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark.
On the road in Templeborough with AdBlue in a diesel
A short way beyond filling up, your motor began playing up: rough running, smoke, less power, lights on your dash. Anywhere along Magna Way or else heading to Sheffield — under 5 miles away.
What it means: the system has pulled the AdBlue in. Past the filter, along the lines, and — the more the distance — on into the injection pump and every injector. Each mile and each restart takes it further.
What to do: pull over where it is safe and switch off. On the M1, under a mile from Templeborough, that means the next junction, not the services further on. It will not have cleared, so there's no point starting it again to check. Call us and say how far you drove.
A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank?
It is a car you have had for a week. The AdBlue filler is right alongside the diesel one, which you didn't know, since your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Across South Yorkshire, nobody is immune.
Put simply: an extra step on top of the cases above, and those turn on if it has run. Work on your vehicle often needs the owner's approval under rental or company terms.
What to do: ring the hire firm or your fleet manager first, then us. That is quicker settled before our engineers arrive than after. Stuck near Cooling Tower in Nature's Fabric or outside Meadowhall till the firm replies, the car remains switched off throughout.
Not sure it was AdBlue in your diesel tank, Templeborough?
Truthfully, the best answer might be that you think so. Lighter, the bottle; a hint of ammonia round your filler; a hazy memory of the cap. Sound familiar? The gates of Tinsley Meadows Primary School in a rush, say, or a friend's driveway out in Richmond Park.
Put simply: spillage near the filler does your motor unharmed. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. Starting the vehicle cannot tell you which, and if there is AdBlue in the tank it would draw it in.
Your move: act as though it got in, and never start your engine. Ring us and describe what you saw; we would rather check a tank that turns out free of AdBlue than drain one that has already been run.
What every AdBlue drain around Templeborough has in common
Every situation gets the same start to the job. Our technicians come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park at The Fairways or a side street close to Magna Science Adventure Centre, and ask three things: what went in, roughly how much, and if your motor has been run. Those answers settle the work, and you hear the quote by phone, before anybody sets off.
A thorough flush comes after the drain. With petrol it is standard; with AdBlue it's essential, since deposits form and some metals are attacked, and neither rinses out unaided. Finally are the filter, flushed or renewed as needed; clean diesel; and a test of your vehicle. If the motor hasn't run, most jobs take about half an hour once we're there.
The last step is starting it. With new diesel in, it runs while we confirm it is running smoothly, and then we head off. We do the entire job where your car is, and lasting damage is very uncommon when it has been noticed early. You pay on the day, with nothing upfront, and get a VAT invoice and an engineer report for your insurer. Many policies cover misfuelling, and so look at yours while the van travels.
