All of it hinges on a single fact: whether the motor has been run since the AdBlue was added — more than anything else. If it has not, keep it that way, whether your car is around Treherbert itself or out in Treorchy. Leave your engine and your ignition off and phone 0333 366 0103; it is generally a drain and a thorough flush, done where the vehicle is around Treherbert. Where your engine has been run, stop safely straight away, then turn the car off. The job is bigger, but the first stage is the same. Compare your case to one of the list below, anywhere across Rhondda Cynon Taf you happen to be. ## On a Treherbert forecourt with 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. Be it Texaco, Murco or somewhere else in Treherbert, the case is identical. Put simply: no better spot to be to spot it. Still inside your tank, and no fuel pulled through: that is where the AdBlue sits. Next: resist the temptation to fire it up just to free up the pump. Ask the staff to help you push your car into a parking space, keep your receipt or the bottle, and call us from the forecourt. Emptying it there at the pump is fine if it cannot be shifted, since the equipment is explosion-proof. ## AdBlue in your diesel tank on a Treherbert drive? Several days had gone by with the warning light on. A bottle from the garage, tipped in at the driveway — and it's just by the bin that the cap caught a second look. Right off Church Street is no different from any other place. The upshot: no miles since leaves this almost equal to spotting it at the petrol pump. Diesel and AdBlue stay separate: the AdBlue drops to the base of your tank and stays put, however long the night. Your move: keys indoors, and so no one drives the car anywhere at breakfast. After that, phone. We drain the car on your drive, whether that's in Treherbert or out in Pen-yr-englyn. The pumps are quiet enough to use outside a house after dark. ## On the road in Treherbert with AdBlue in a diesel You filled up, set off, and a mile or two later your engine began to run unevenly, smoke, lose power or light up the dashboard. Possibly it was on Dumfries Street, maybe on the way out towards Swansea, under 25 miles away. Meaning? The pump has sucked the AdBlue up. It has been through the filter and the lines and, the further you went, into the high-pressure pump and the fuel injectors. Each mile and each restart takes it further. Do this: stop anywhere safe, then turn the motor off. Exit by the next junction — not the services beyond — if you're on the M4, under 10 miles from Treherbert. It won't have cleared, and so there's no point restarting to check. Call us and say how far you went. ## A hire or company car with AdBlue in the wrong tank? It is a vehicle you have had for a week. The AdBlue filler is right alongside the diesel one, which you did not know, since your own car either has no AdBlue or keeps it somewhere else. Throughout Rhondda Cynon Taf, no one is immune. What it means: the same as the scenarios above, depending on whether it's run, with one more stage. Plenty of hire and company contracts require the owner's approval for work. Settling it before the van turn up is faster, and so phone the hire company or your fleet manager, then us. Waiting for a reply at the car park outside the nearest station, or near Cenotaph? Leave the car off meanwhile. ## Unsure about AdBlue in your diesel tank in Treherbert? Truthfully, the best answer may be that you think it did. Too light, the bottle; a hint of ammonia near your filler; a hazy memory of which cap. Look familiar? A hurried top-up by the gates of the local primary school, or a visit to a friend in Blaencwm: both fit. The upshot: the engine is not harmed by a little AdBlue spilled around the filler. AdBlue inside the diesel tank does. If there is AdBlue in your tank, firing up your car would suck it in, and it wouldn't tell you which either. Take it that it went in, and never turn your engine. Ring with the details: we'd sooner confirm a tank free of AdBlue than empty one once your motor has been run. ## Every AdBlue drain in Treherbert shares these steps Whatever the situation, a single opening is used. We come to your car, whether it is on a forecourt, a drive, the car park at the pub in the village or a side street close to Carmel Independent Chapel, and ask three things: what was put in, roughly how much, and whether the engine has been run. Those answers decide this work, and you get the price by phone, before anyone sets off. AdBlue forms crystals and is corrosive to some metals in fuel systems, so it won't wash out on its own; that's why the flush, after the drain, matters far more here than with petrol. The filter is cleaned, or replaced where it needs to be; clean diesel goes in; and the vehicle is tested. If your engine hasn't run, the majority of jobs take about half an hour once we are there. The last step is firing it up. Before our engineers head off, it's tested to confirm it runs correctly on fresh diesel. Our engineers do the whole job where the vehicle is, and long-term damage is very unusual when it has been spotted early. Paying comes on the day, never in advance. For your insurer, there is a VAT invoice plus a written report from the engineer. Plenty of policies include misfuelling, and so check yours while the van travels. ## About Treherbert Treherbert is a town situated in the Rhondda Valley in south Wales, on the banks of the River Rhondda.
