What to do about AdBlue in a diesel tank comes down to one thing more than any other: if your motor has been run since it was put in. Out in Behind Berry or here around The Millands, an unrun engine must remain unrun. Normally that means draining and properly flushing it right there around The Millands — so leave the ignition and motor off and ring 0333 366 0103. Already run? Pull over once you safely can, then switch everything off. It's a larger job, yet step one doesn't change. Anywhere around Somerset it took place, one of the situations below matches yours. ## At the petrol pump in The Millands: AdBlue in a diesel You are at the pump, the nozzle or the bottle still in your hand, and you have just noticed the cap you opened was the wrong one. Anywhere around The Millands, then — Esso, Texaco, or somewhere else close by. Meaning? Spotting it on the forecourt is the best it can be. Just the tank holds AdBlue; no part beyond it has drawn any in. Next: avoid the temptation to fire it up just to move away from the petrol pump. Three jobs: a push into a bay with the attendants helping, the bottle saved, and a call to us from where you stand. Can't move the car by the petrol pump? Explosion-proof kit keeps a live forecourt sensible, and so we can drain the car where it is. ## At home in The Millands with AdBlue in your diesel tank The warning light had been on for days. You bought a bottle, poured it in on the drive, and only when you put the empty bottle in the recycling did you look once more at the cap. Drives near B3151 see it as much as any other street. The upshot: no driving since leaves it nearly equal to finding it at the petrol pump. On the bottom of that tank is where AdBlue waits, since it won't blend with diesel — and a night going by changes no difference. Next: the keys in the house, so nobody takes your car anywhere first thing. Then, phone. In Old Estate Yards or here around The Millands, the draining happens on your driveway. The equipment works quiet enough not to disturb the street at night. ## The Millands: set off with AdBlue in a diesel? You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your motor began to run roughly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Possibly it was on Huish Road, perhaps on the way out towards Wells, under 15 miles away. The upshot: the system has pulled AdBlue in already. Through the filter, along the lines, and — the more the mileage — deeper into the high-pressure pump and each injector. Each restart, like every mile, carries it deeper. Next: find a safe place, pull in, and switch the motor off. The Millands lies under 15 miles from the M5; there, come off at the first junction instead of pushing on to the services. Don't restart the vehicle to see if it has cleared; it will not have. Phone, saying how far the vehicle went. ## Hire, lease or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank You have just driven the vehicle for days. The AdBlue filler sits right alongside the diesel filler, which you didn't know, since your own vehicle either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Wherever you are around Somerset, any motorist could be caught. In short: an extra step on top of the situations above, and those depend on if it's run. Plenty of rental and company contracts require the owner's approval for repairs. Next: ring the rental company or your fleet manager first, and then us — settling it before we arrive is quicker. Leave the vehicle off as the reply arrives, even if you are parked outside Yeovil Pen Mill or near Market Cross. ## The Millands: unsure whether it was AdBlue in the diesel tank? Truthfully, the only answer might be that you think so. Lighter, the bottle; a trace of ammonia near your filler; a hazy recollection of which cap. Look familiar? Maybe at a friend's driveway in West End, or rushing outside King Ina Church of England Academy at the school run. Put simply: a spill round the filler does the engine no harm. The diesel tank with AdBlue in it is a different story. If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up the car will pull it in, and it would not tell you which either. Your move: behave as if it did, and never start your engine.

Our engineers come to your car, whether it is at a forecourt, a driveway, the car park outside The Globe Inn or a side street near The Old Town Hall, and ask three things: what went in, about how much, and whether the motor has been run. Your price comes over the phone, ahead of anyone setting off, and those replies set the work. A thorough flush comes after this drain. With petrol it's routine; with AdBlue it is crucial, because crystals build up and certain metals corrode, and none of it rinses out unaided.

The last step is firing it up. We check it runs correctly on new diesel before we leave. Long-term damage is very rare when it is caught soon, and the whole job is done where the vehicle is.
